Specifically, lines 100-102 of usr.sbin/sade/menus.c "If you will only have FreeBSD on the machine the boot manager is not needed and it slows down the boot while offering you the choice of which operating system to boot." ^^ not 100% true, as the boot manager also provides the option of PXE booting. This statement seems excessively wordy and unnecessary. Also, should this be broken up into two patches? One for the change in sade, the other for sysinstall? I'm not picky about this, but you are fixing two issues in two separate programs. -- randi
