This patch adds the possibility to enter the prompt at boot time by typing the sequence of buttons "123" rather than a single button: http://www.freebsd.org/~attilio/Sandvine/STABLE_8/boot123/boot123.diff This is useful in the cases where a serial console is likely going to be used which can carry on spourious character, leding to the prompt erroneously. This option is wrappered into the BOOT_PROMPT_123 option, in order to maintain the current POLA. This patch has been contributed back by Sandvine Incorporated. Please review.
