You can use "fdisk -B" to install non-interactive boot manager. Or you can
use -t in boot0cfg to make timeout equals to zero.
If after it you STILL have "F1" -- you probably boot from another drive: not
da0 but da1. How many drives do you have? Check your BIOS settings to find
which drive you boot from.
