If i press any key during the Booteasy prompt, i can get the options for booting, correct? SUch as which kernel, etc. What is the pause for later on? The countdown that can be changed in the boot conf file (or wherever it is, i saw it but i forget)? Is that just to allow time to call up a command prompt? Since my rc.conf will be slower (since i will be adding a sleep 1 to pause for pccardd) i would like to trim unnecessary time from booting up. But i also don't want to lose functionality in the event of a system problem. I'm running 3.2 on a laptop, BTW. -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
