freebsd stable - Jul 2012 - video issue - Intel Atom based motherboard D2500HN

Hi all,

I recently bought a Intel D2500HN motherboard with Intel GMA 3600 video 
card.
I want to install FreeBSD 9-Release on it via PXE, but after booting the 
system, it seems that video card driver doesn't work properly.

Have a look at this picture:

I've tried the
# vidcontrol 80x25

but unfortunately it doesn't help.

Do you have any idea how to deal with taht graphics?

Regards,

That is probably a broken BIOS, firmware or hardware. Can you try booting a 
different operating system? (USB rescue discs or so)
