Description

iMac12,1 (the sort of hardware we'd really like to support well out of the box) with Radeon GPU plays the welcome sound but does not show graphics on the screen.

Thanks [__- CRYPTiCEXiLE -__ on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU-7Z7TkBT4).

__Workaround:__
At bootloader prompt, need to type:

```
load radeonkms
load drm
boot
```

It would be interesting to know whether it works out-of-the-box in NomadBSD.

In the installed system:

> edit the /etc/rc.conf where it has the .ko of the intel drivers at the end of the list just take that out and replace it with radeonkms.ko instead it should work
