I assume you are using 3.1, but if not, it's pretty similar in previous versions. During the boot process, there is a step where you will see the system counting down to a reboot. This is your window of opportunity. Press a key, and you will be presented with a prompt. I actually found that up arrow would work well as the key of choice. I think ? will give you a list of options, but "boot -c" for configuration. At the next prompt, choose the visual configuration and will should give you what you are referring to. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
