How to change video mode with grub to allow uefi boot
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2015 1:41 pm
Dear All,
first of all let me introduce myself. I am Valerio, a long time linux user who got into BSDs recently (and not because of systemd!). I am trying to install GhostBSD on my laptop, a Dell Inspiron 15 (2015). After "burning" the ISO to a USB stick, I try to boot it in UEFI mode and I get a kernel trap.
But that is not the problem I have! I already know that this is caused by this bug: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/fre ... 54306.html
With normal freebsd, my workaround is this. I let the bootloader start booting. I interruput the boot by pressing a key, I change the video mode to 2 with "mode 2" and then I keepbooting with "autoboot". This works perfectly
However, I cannot use the same workaround with GhostBSD because it uses grub instead of the Freebsd bootloader and the booting process does not stop and allow me to change video mode.
Does anyone know how I could set the video mode when booting the install usb, and avoid he kernel trap?
Thank you for your help
