>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	Install of 'all' packages onto a system with a single 4Gig drive
on an Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller.  I have also experienced this on an
NCR PCI controller.

>Description:

	After install of system, the boot manager comes up with the 'F1'
type menu to select the boot.  Pressing F1 repeats the menu with the
default now not 'F1'.  Repeated pressings produce no results.

	I have tried to use disklabel -B sd0 and have tried running
sysinstall again, but have not been able to get the system to boot
without using a floppy.

>How-To-Repeat:

	I have repeated it twice --- once with NCR controller, once with
1542.  Machine is on the net and available for diagnostics for the next
24 hours.

>Fix:
	
	Not known.

>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
