I have been experimenting with booting from a USB key vs the HD. If I sit
on the console, and hit F1, the next time the machine boots, F1 will be the
default. If I hit F5, the next time it will be F5 (the USB key drive in
this case). How can I do this from the shell on a RELENG_5 box. e.g. I
boot from HD (F1) I want to then without having to sit on the console, make
it boot from USB drive, as if I hit F5. Is this boot0cfg ? If so, I cant
seem to get it to work.
Thanks,
---Mike
