freebsd stable - Sep 2006 - /boot/loader.conf

Hi there,

I'm starting my freebsd one way trip now.

I've allready installed basic system and some other stuffs via ports.

Now I wish to know how to tune the loader.conf (I'm using relese 6.1)
upgrading console resolution.

At a linux box I can set, in the boot loader, this parameter: vga=791.
Is it the same way on freebsd?

Thans all of you

You have to use vidcontrol(1), a small example to start

This is *not* done in /boot/loader.conf, but in /etc/rc.conf, see below.

No, it is not the same.
See 'man vidcontrol' and 'man rc.conf' to learn more. In the
rc.conf
man page, search for "allscreens_flags".
