The answer depends on exactly how current you are... With -current from a few days ago, I would have said: Make sure you have a /boot/loader.rc file that contains at least these lines: load /kernel load -t /boot.config Then, make sure /boot.config contains all the stuff that you would normally type at the config> prompt when you Boot: -c. If you are *really* -current, /boot/loader.rc should probably just contain something like: include /boot/loader.4th start Then, you should copy /boot/defaults/loader.conf to /boot/loader.conf and edit it to match what you want to happen at boot.
