I disconnected the serial console adapter last week and so haven't seen what it looks like over that. I'm a bit of a fan of the beastie menu as a general rule so it would be sad to lose it. Still, if the EFI console can't handle the instructions I'm thinking that some simplified version of menu would have to suffice. > >> * The timeout countdown of the boot loader has reverted to very slow. >> The loader did this earlier in the year on -CURRENT but had obviously >> been fixed for a few months now.

One second on the timer takes about 5 seconds of wall clock time. As I said, it had been good for a few months now but was slow earlier in the year. This is the freebsd loader not u-boot unless I completely misunderstand the booting process (also possible), although I suppose u-boot is still providing the console services. The u-boot countdown timer appears to move quickly enough that I haven't really paid any attention to it. > >> * The root user on the image doesn't have a .login file. > The users are added with pw directly (iirc) and the /etc/skel content > isn't copied in their home directory, that's something we should change > for 13 and mfc back for 12.1 > >> I realise these are all cosmetic issues in the overall scheme of things >> but if anyone is working on a bit of spit-and-polish for the new release >> they might want to have a look at a few of these. >> >> Otherwise I'm happy to say that I haven't found any significant problems >> yet.
