Being on the 1st virtual terminal in text mode (ttyv0) which also acts as the console device, press the "Scroll Lock" key and use the vertical arrow keys and page scrolling keys to get to the top of the log. It should start with the last BIOS POST messages (if any), and then continue with the loader messages, the kernel messages, and the system startup messages.

Re: Boot hangs in single-user mode

[ ... ] > It's important to identify if the system is _really_ hanging, > or if the message "just isn't visible"... This is indeed the crux of the issue. While hammering on the RETURN key did not produce a prompt, it turns out that there was a prompt... At some time in the relatively distant past, I had configured this machine to allow display to a serial console (long since disconnected) by adding these lines to /boot/loader.conf boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="19200" console="comconsole,vidconsole" My notes say "These came from the serial console setup page, and do work for vt100", however I did not note exactly which man page they came from, unfortunately. I do not see these lines on syscons(4), sio(4) or dcons(4). Similar lines are mentioned in the handbook regarding setting up a serial console (there is no mention of single-user mode here): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html The issue, as it relates to single-user mode, is essentially this: if the system is configured to boot with multi-console options, then when the single user prompt is printed, it is only printed on the "second" console (which is also the only valid source of keyboard input) -- in this case, the configured but unattached serial port. I'm not sure what the best strategy is here. Having only one console that is accepting input for the single-user shell certainly makes sense. The question is, which of potentially several consoles should it be? IMO, it would be better/clearer if (for i386/amd64 anyway) the console was the one associated with the motherboard-based keyboard and video card. An argument here would be that the [CTRL]-[ALT]-[DEL] sequence is still valid when associated with this keyboard, so it does seem odd that other input on that device is ignored. I can see arguments for other setups, also, mostly revolving around the "why would you _have_ another console configured if you didn't need it, so the configured console must therefore be the important one" -- though the FreeBSD user base is certainly willing enough to experiment that I am sure I am not the only person who set up multi-console for a "fun" project. Perhaps the best strategy would be to add a message printed on all consoles (as the rest of the boot information is) just before the prompt is printed (singly) to let people know that this is happening? I'm not sure if a way to 100% predict the desired console is possible. Thoughts? If figure I will put a PR in, so that at least this is tracked, even if we don't change anything. I will reference this thread in the PR, but if anyone has input as to what to suggest, I would appreciate it. At the very least, the handbook should get updated to indicate that this may happen.

I've had good luck with Lenovos. I'm writing this from a friend's T530 and I own an X220, but neither have a 17" screen. A first step is to search the archives of the mobile, acpi and questions mailing lists. There are also some helpful threads on the forums and http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/.

Is There Any Buyable Laptop for FreeBSD 9.1 That Is Simple to Set Up?
I have been looking for ages for a simple system on which to do the following:- a. Unix-Based. b. Do Programming in C. (I like gedit if possible). c. Xfce as GUI. d. Production Work:- 1. OpenOffice (not LibreOffice). 2. The GIMP. 3. Inkscape. 4. Something with CAD and 3-D Rendering. 5. Film and Sound Editing. 6. Databases: PostgreSL, MySQL, and db2.e. 7. Internet Work, including uploads to my website with FTP, my web host using the latest version of Apache. f. Good Graphics and Media. g. Good wireless connectivity through an external hotspot - currently using Sprint (not the best or the worst) 3G (more reliable than 4G) OverdrivePro but may upgrade when something better appears. If I did not have to travel a good deal, I should be content with a desktop computer, but cannot escape from laptops. I have tried many versions of Linux and some of the offshoots of FreeBSD, and only FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD seem close to what I think is best. FreeBSD wins because DragonflyBSD is just too esoteric at the moment. After over a month of effort, I freely confess that installing FreeBSD 9.1 is beyond my capability. I have a Toshiba Satellite L755 with 32-bit Intel® Core™ i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30GHz × 4 Processor at the moment, and this is nowhere mentioned on any list of FreeBSD-capable laptops that I can find. Indeed, after ruthlessly searching the web and talking to dozens of people, none of whom have any close experience with FreeBSD, it seems that there are very few laptops which are capable of trouble-free installation of FreeBSD. In the case of my Toshiba Satellite L755, I believe that the wireless driver is not friendly to the idea. As I currently use Ubuntu 12.10 (native - wiped it in attempted to instal FreeBSD 9.1, and then re-installed after failure of said installation of FreeBSD), I ran the following command and received:- $ lspci | grep Network 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Oh, well - no need to waste time discussing this because my present computer is not good enough in other respects for what I should like to do. Therefore, my question is ultimately:- Is there any 17"64-bit laptop that will readily support FreeBSD 9.1 with wireless connectivity to an external hotspot?
