Hi all,
=20
I have a HP DL-140 G2 server, that will only boot when I select FreeBSD =
Safe
mode, option 3 on the boot loader menu.
=20
I have read through 'man loader' and 'man loader.conf'  I have also had =
a
read through the /boot/defaults/loader.conf file, but don't really see =
an
option for this.
=20
Is there a way to auto select a menu option upon boot up?
=20
I am running FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE, and have tried 6.0 RELEASE as well.
=20
Obviously it would be nice to have it start up normally, but there seems =
to
be a problem reading the SATA drive in normal boot mode.
