Hello!

Thank you!

i forgot to mention,
a) that there was indeed a change in fontsize bgeinning with "panic: .."
b) I use an 4K LCD via DP and a 1030 gfx with 2GB graphics ram

Maybe the a swicht to "text" somehow in loader.conf would be a 
workaround (?)

Best would be to fix this (hopefully rare and byte-size) issue,
maybe just for having 1..2 more users with successful OI install on 1st 
try ;-)

Greetings,

Stephan
