Re: Installing NetBSD with an old CRT monitor

The kernel should use the graphics resolution set by UEFI or the

UEFI already starts in "text" mode, it might bei necessary to use
"gop" afterwards to initialize a graphics mode. The kernel doesn't
know about UEFI text mode.

The drm driver may "detect" the monitor and change the display
mode. You would need to disable it with the userconf command
"disable i915drmkms*" including the asterisk. In your boot.cfg
you write this as

userconf=disable i915drmkms*

Ah nice, I was missing the asterisk indeed. Everything works properly now. Thanks a lot!

Now that I have something working, I’d like it to be automated. Needing to drop to a boot prompt every time to type in “gop 1” and “text 7” is quickly annoying. Unfortunately, I don’t see anything in boot.cfg manpage about these commands, and I tried adding “gop=1” and “text=7” to that file without success.

How can I have these commands executed automatically by the bootloader on every boot?

Thanks again for your help,
Imoen
