I see in the 6.0/amd64 release notes in section 2.2.1 that the beastie boot menu is disabled by default. It doesn't seem to be in 6.0-REL but was in the last RC that was issued. A couple of weeks ago I made a CD of the last RC before release of 6.0 and installed it on a Dell 1850 which worked out quite well. However, the boot menu wasn't there like in 5.x -- all I got was the old style boot prompt like in FreeBSD 4.x. An upgrade to 6.0-REL via buildworld didn't change that menu, either. Last week, I installed from a 6.0-RELEASE cd onto a generic opteron box and I get the beastie menu (albeit beastie is replaced with a "FreeBSD" image). Thus, I am confused by this entry in the release notes. Can anyone clarify which way the boot menu/prompt should be defaulted? http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/relnotes-amd64.html
