I installed FreeBSD on a disk and have this problem:
The boot manager comes up and shows:
F1: FreeBSD
F5: Disk 2
If I hit F1 (or wait a few seconds), The 'puter drops down a line,
shows a minus (-) sign in the bottom left hand corner and stays there
until I hit any key on the keyboard.
I ran:
boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0
and the problem did not go away. What else could I try so that the
computer will boot/reboot unattended?
