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, -zeek To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
