Really, thank you all very much. That was fast ! > Get your update > at http://druidbsd.sf.net/ or http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/loader_menu-1.3.tgz Installed here, on another computer. Added to /boot/loader.conf : loader_delay="0" loader_color="YES" Removed : loader_logo="beastie" Kept : autoboot_delay="3" I'm happy with it. The "stop delay on all keys" feature is great, I have an habit of using arrow keys to stop or reset delays in boot loaders because those keys usually don't have a special meaning like letters or space bar can have (except selecting another entry, in grub for example). But still, on this computer I've got "2. ACPI Support: Disabled", while the old loader offers me to boot with ACPI disabled. ACPI seems enabled after boot in both cases. I've got this behavior on 2 computers with different hardware, they both use 9-CURRENT (latest and few days old) amd64, compiled with clang. I'll try to investigate a little more.
