Arrrgh... OK, I've R'd the FM (Murray's AND Greg Lehey's) and still can't find=20 someting that I know I did this summer... edited the text echoed by the F= BSD=20 bootloader. Somewhere on the site or in those books I found a blurb on how to modi= fy=20 the text that spits out "F1 DOS & F2 BSD " lines in pre-boot (before BTX=20 takes over -- so boot) or boot1?) Actually, right now it's a minor annoyance but since I think it can be = done=20 I want to -- I have F1 showing as "??" because it's a dual boot laptop (W= in2K=20 plus this FBSD 4.6) and the WIN slice is NTFS. I once modified the echo = by=20 adding and F3 which was bogus (to alloy a colleague who often tried to us= e=20 the system...). If I could do that (and I can't even find that again in = the=20 books...). I've wandered around in loader.conf & rc.conf & loader.4th, i= n=20 /etc and in /etc/defaults. zilch. I'd be happy if you gave me a snappy=20 answer like, "page 352, dummy..." but right now I've gone through it a pa= ge=20 at a time and have reread the parts about boot sequence so often I'm drea= ming=20 about it -- but cant find what I recall was a simple edit trick...Help,=20 please. =20 OH, BTW, will openoffice 1.0.1 and/or mozilla 1.0.1 run on BSD -- Again= , I'm=20 kinda new to this end, but I downloaded the linux versions (yeah, I know = that=20 may be the prob... BSD isn't linux, which is great because I can't stand = that=20 penguin...) and after tar -zxf then trying install I got errors ELF <0> o= r=20 something like that. & Yes, I su'd to root... Any ideas would be nice here, too.
