Hi -doc,

I'm working my way through the handbook, and I came across section 2.11.1:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-trouble.html
which mentions a ``visual kernel configuration option'' which can be
used to troubleshoot
an installation.
Do we actually have such a facility (from the context, in the boot loader)?
I don't remember seeing one, but I started with 5.2, and have never
had much trouble
installing.
