How do I customize the behaviour of the boot-loader ? I've read the man page for : boot(8) - system bootstrapping procedures and what I was looking for was how to make console 80x50 instead of default 80x25 or something . for example in linux if one uses lilo , he could edit the /etc/lilo.conf and add vga=extended to that file . when I read the boot(8) for FreeBSD it didn't mention anything about this feature. the man file mentioned "/boot.config" which I believe is the appropriate file to lilo.conf . first : is it the file to edit for customizing such features ? if not , which file should be edited for making such features permanent instead of doing them manually each time when booting. Thanx for any suggestion :-) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
