Dear kind FreeBSD users,
I have successfully installed FreeBSD 13 on an old eight core machine.
I was unsuccessful installing FreeBSD 12 and FBSD 13RC1 to RC3/4. I
succeeded this time. Maybe the failures were due to hard disk
problems(tried new 240 GB SSDs), but it did not matter. I had an
older 7200 Hard disk which had FreeBSD8.3 or so, and I tried it and it
worked. Sadly I do not have X because I get error
drmn0: fb0: radeon drmfb frame buffer device
Connection refused.
What can I try to get it working. I have compiled drm-kmod fbsd13
successfully.
The command kld_list="amdgpu" is loaded in /etc/rc.conf
amdgpu
TIA
Antonio
