  • Solved: Fonts way too small

    Recently I set up a NetBSD 9.4 box on an amd64 architecture. No X11,
    just CLI. When booting, at one point the OS switches the plain text
    output on the console to some graphic mode shrinking the font to a way
    too small one - at least for my eyes.

    I fiddled around with wsconsctl and /etc/wscons.conf, enabled loading of
    the pcvt font vt220h.816, built a new kernel with
    WSCONS_SUPPORT_PCVTFONTS enabled, but nothing changed at all. I
    commented out all drivers in the kernel's DRMKMS section, still no
    change.

    I'd rather like NetBSD not to switch fonts at all but stay in plain text mode. Isn't there any way to accomplish that?

    Sorry, I forgot to comment out one line in the kernel source. Now it
    works as expected.

    What line was it?
