Yea. This is due to the new, larger font and a hidden bug.
Hasn't this been fixed in -HEAD? I thought tsoome was working on it.
Oh, here:
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D50258
Want to try that out and see if it fixes things?
This has a very weird effect on my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 4,
1920x1200 screen)
The first few lines from the loader looks normal, but then it clears
the screen veery sloowly. I can see big blocks of the text being erased.
After the screen has been cleared, it starts printing "Loading
/boot/default/loader.conf" etcetera, with a GIANT FONT, really really
slowly.
Then it switches to the small font (I have "screen.font=8x14" in my
loader.conf) and displays the menu quickly.
giant font hints that you do not have loader.efi updated in ESP, that
is you have the font but not D50258. (D50258 probably has to have ||
in its check;)
The screen clear is something I’m working about now. There are some
things to change about it - we have screen map and should use it to
skip “clearing” the clear areas, but resolution and font changes need
a bit of attention.
rgds,

Yes, I didn't think about updating the loader in the ESP.
I did that now and it works just as before.
