Hi all,
I am a new user to the TrueNAS/FreeNAS and setting up a node first time. My hardware configuration includes:
- e5-2630L COU (no graphics)
- el cheapo chinese x99 motherboard (no graphics and COM)
- 16G RAM
- 512g ssd storage
- TrueNAS Core 12.0 U4
For installation of the system I used a GTX1650 from my primary machine. Installation and all went perfect and the system runs well up until I hit the final step of my commisioning process - connecting the NAS nose to my home network with no GPU installed. My network doesn't see the node with no graphics card and the IP stack on the NAS is not operational.
My tests showed that when I take the GPU out the system doesn't boot normally, which would be perfectly expected for FreeBSD. Trying to solve the problem, i added
I tried adding a variable 'console' with a value of 'nullconsole' to the systems/tunables section and it had no effect either.
Is there anything I am missing? Could anyone point me in the right direction? I do not want to put GPU in a system just for the sake of allowing it to boot.

to the /boot/loader.conf, and it had no effect - I still have graphical output with GPU installed no no network connectivity with GPU taken out.console="nullconsole"
