20.1 Legacy Series / Booting without VGA Console
« on: June 01, 2020, 03:58:21 am »
Hey guys,
I have a weird situation where after reinstalling OPNsense to boot via UEFI I can no longer reboot the box without a VGA monitor attached to the box. Previously with the legacy boot method it worked fine.
I did find this post that seems that someone else had previously encountered this issue: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=3972.0
However, I wasn't able to find the NULLCONSOLE option under administration > console that was said to be added. SSHing into the box itself and manually editing the file with vi to manually change the variable also did not seem to make any difference.
If anyone has ran into this issue before, and knows what the solution is I'd really appreciate it. As of now any loss of power or updates that require a reboot basically requires me to lug out a monitor to get everything up and running again.
