Well instead of pressing enter you can let the timeout occur. Standard is 10 seconds. If this is still too long add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: autoboot_delay=SECONDS However I would not go too short here, since you might want to able to go to i.e. single user mode. Btw while your at it you can also set loader_color=yes in that file. Looks nicer. Whatever... 2. If I understand that right you want a graphical login right from the start?! To do this edit the file /etc/ttys. In the line of your login manager like xdm or kdm make sure it's says "on", like: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure 3. I dont know what you did with Xsession or Xsetup_0 (I left mine default) but if you want your user andrei to use KDE simply add exec startkde to his .xinitrc. That should do the job.
