Created attachment 222954 [details] Snapshot image of console I created VirtualBox VM for FreeBSD 64bit on Windows host and tried to make clean install of 14-CURRENT with iso image of 20210225 snapshot (FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-amd64-20210225-bf667f282a7-256946-disc1.iso). Then installer worked with monochrome mode. Attached file is the screen shot of console. If I start `bsdinstall` after installation is completed, it works with normal color mode. So the source of the problem seems not installer but console setting. Moreover I tested same iso image with real H/W of Windows host and the problem also happened. So it isn't specific to VritualBox. The problem doesn't happen with 20210218 snapshot. So I bisected between them and found it happens with following commit or later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- commit 77e1ccbee3ed6c837929e4e232fd07f95bfc8294 Author: Rick Parrish <unitrunker@gmail.com> AuthorDate: Sun Feb 7 07:15:21 2021 +0100 Commit: Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: Tue Feb 23 11:16:53 2021 +0100 rc: implement parallel boot take advantage of the rcorder -p argument to implement parallel booting in rc.
