You can add the command 'boot' to the end of your /boot/loader.rc file. Note, though, that if you do this, you won't be able to boot an old kernel, or boot into single user mode unless you boot off of a floppy. Thus, I reccommend that you just set the autoboot_delay variable to 1 or 2 seconds as Sheldon Hearn recommended. > Thanks -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
