Description Andriy Gapon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-07-21 08:35:26 UTC 
Tested on Orange Pi PC Plus originally with FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-arm-armv7-GENERICSD-20200709-r363032.img.xz.

The default loader could not display its menu properly after I commented out beastie_disable in loader.conf. The menu was garbled and I could see elements of what was supposed to be escape sequences, like "[2;19H".

I built a customer loader with TERM_EMU enabled and replaced EFI/BOOT/bootarm.efi in the EFI partition.  After that I could see the menu.

Just in case, additional menu customizations that I had turned on in both cases:
loader_color="NO"
loader_logo="none"

Recently switched to TERM_EMU in d002814d6b8e, by manu.
