If your machine automatically starts a graphical user interface you can still get out and use a regular text terminal by typing <ctrl>-<alt>-<f1> A few virtual terminals are always available. You can read more about them here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/consoles.html (The documentation is about FreeBSD but DragonFly uses a similar mechanism and so do most Unix-like operating systems) -- Francois Tigeot
