Today I've found some time to spend on trying to make 13-STABLE boot on
Parallel Desktop on Apple M1 processor. 

A few weeks ago I wrote that just a while block appeared in the upper
left corner and nothing happened. 

Today out of nowhere I thought about hooking a serial port to the
machine and I attached with NC to it. 

With my great surprise, 13-STABLE was booting OK but wasn't writing
anything in console, it seemed to prefer console for reason I cannot
say. 

So I was able to enter in the installer (funny fact, I had to press
"enter" in the VM console to have the machine boot but then I had to
write in NC to use the installer) and got up to the point where I was
trying to ZFS the drive. 

I could not go after on that because everything I tried when formatting
the drive got me 

cannot zero first 4096 bytes of '/dev/ada0p3': Invalid argument 

With UFS everything went smoothly and I was able to complete the
installation. 

Yet, no local console... 

Any general suggestion? 

Thanks
