I had searched the archives until I had to finally give up. I installed 4.0 fresh using the entire disk but not using the "dangerously dedicated" option. I now wish I had. For some reason, today, after making some changes to rc.conf, powering down and moving the server, it decides to give me that boot manager that looks like this: >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:da(0,a)/boot/loader boot: And then just sits there. I can hit enter and get it to boot, but it concerns me that a power outage (longer than my UPS can handle) will make the thing sit there waiting for someone to push enter. I have tried fdisk /mbr from a dos disk, I have tried using the fdisk from /stand/sysinstall and marking the partition active and telling it a standard MBR and writing. Nothing will make it go away. Any ideas. Or at least can I give that boot manager a directive to just boot automatically somehow? Help.
