I'm having problems finding specific information in making adjustments to
the boot process. I'm trying to do something very simple: boot FreeBSD
immediately, no prompt, no splash, no fuss, no circus. This is what I
currently see at boot time:

F1 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 0

Default: F1

By means of divine intervention I discovered the key sequence "F1 -> F5 ->
[enter]" would boot the OS. And ONLY in doing this will the boot process
initialize. Why such a funky boot process? Is this normal or is there
something wrong with my setup?

All I've changed at this point is /boot/defaults/loader.conf:
autoboot_delay="3" but this occurs AFTER "boot0"


Cheers,
