I've got something like : > loader_logo=3D"beastie" > autoboot_delay=3D"0" >=20 Yeah, that's definitely possible. The new code already supports /boot/loader.conf, however I don't support loader_logo in that way (you'd h= ave to use "logo=3D" instead of "loader_logo=3D" and you'd have to remove the "= set logo=3D" line from /boot/menu.rc). I'll have to make the following modifications in the next version so that y= ou can use loader_logo from /boot/loader.conf: 1. Change the default logo in /boot/beastie.4th from "beastie" to "orb" 2. Change /boot/menu.rc to remove the line: set logo=3D"orb" 3. Change /boot/beastie.4th to read the "loader_logo" environment variable instead of "logo" > And while the pre-menu delay of 2 seconds is great, is it possible to tur= n it off or > adjust it ? > Right now, if you want to disable the 2 second delay, open up /boot/loader.= rc and change the following line: set dc_seconds=3D2 to: set dc_seconds=3D0 In the next release, I'll rewrite it so that you add something to /boot/loader.conf to disable the delay. --=20 Devin > Thanks ! >=20 > > Simply deleting the line or comment it out (by adding "\ " -- backslash-space -- > to the beginning of the line) is equivalent to setting logo to "beastie".
