Install FreeBSD 14 on DEC740

[patient0]

I'm failing in installing FreeBSD 14.1 on my DEC740. After the boot menu of the installer it stops. I tried verbose mode and safe mode but without success.

Has anyone tried installing pure FreeBSD 14.1 and succeeded?

Thanks a lot Franco, I'll have a read through that.

Edit: That did the trick

Code Select Expand

set hw.uart.console="mm:0xfedc9000,rs:2"

Thanks a ton. Is there a chance that this get's upstreamed?

The patch to make this automatic is stuck in review. I have to get back to Warner on that.

We've of course included the original patch in the upcoming 24.7 / 14.1 combo so in that case there's no intervention needed.


Cheers,
