Also, booteasy should remember your selections, so once you've hit F1/ F5, it should remember and do it itself next time. If it's not, you've got some really basic problems with your system. You can control what the bootstrap boots by default by sticking the boot string in /boot.config in the a partition of the first FreeBSD slice on the disk that the bootstrap comes from, eg. 'sd(0,a)/kernel'. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
