    Hello all, we are using FreeBSD as main OS for our products. If we have it as default Deployment option will be great for our business. At the moment we have 6 servers running FreeBSD 13.1 on Equinix Metal ( c3.small.x86 ). Deployment path was via FreeBSD 12.1 as starting point and them update to FreeBSD 13.1 via source update. Servers are working since two weeks very well. All hardware is supported. Main issue which I face was with SOS console. When the FreeBSD kernel is loaded the SOS console stop to show any booting messages and even the login prompt.
