Booting in EFI blind mode - How to remove the request to press a any key to continue

[acktarus]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to FreeNAS. Here is my setup. I have an old WD Sentinel DX4000. I decided that it was time to use FreeNAS instead of the windows server edition.

The DX4000 does NOT have a monitor output. Which is not a problem since I was able to locate a serial port on the motherboard. So I soldered some leads and here I am with a functioning serial port.

I then used my PC to install FreeNAS on a USB drive (using the "Serial Enabled" option).

Everything works great and boots up but I have a small issue. Everytime I boot, FreeNAS stops and display the following:

'error: no suitable video mode found.
Booting in EFI blind mode
Press any key to continue...'

Is there any way to disable the request to press a key to continue??

I am planning to leave this server without a keyboard and I would love for it to boot up without intervention.

Thanks

Pat

Check your BIOS for something like "Pause on Errors" or "Stop on Errors".

I don't think it's a BIOS thing.

I'd file a feature request to have a setting to ignore that error.
