[SOLVED] FreeBSD installer freeze

[onepamopa]

Hello,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD on PVE using a passed-through nVidia GPU.

When I pass a KVM-modified rom file, or no rom file at all - the GPU brings the screen up but the installer freezes on EFI framebuffer information (see the attached picture).
When I pass an unmodified rom - the GPU doesn't power the screen at all.

Just to mention - Kali installed with the same GPU and same configuration w/o any issues.

Here is VM config:
agent: 1
bios: ovmf
bootdisk: virtio0
cores: 8
cpu: host
efidisk0: NVME_STORAGE:vm-101-disk-1,size=4M

Hopefully someone has an idea on this..

So, turns out after the monitor attached to the GPU freezes on "EFI Framebuffer information" - the KVM console takes over. I installed FreeBSD but the monitor still freezes.... That makes it unusable..

Turns out display should be "none", not "VirtIO".
That fixes the problem.
