In FreeBSD you can use nvram (see man nvram) to set variables in OF. To enable/disable auto-boot? you just do this: % nvram auto-boot\?=true % nvram auto-boot\?=false Important, do not forget the backslash to before the ?. % nvram -p shows the content of the nvram. You can also set the boot-device, here it is important to quote the two backslashes before :tbxi. E.g: % nvram boot-device=sd0:2,'\\':tbxi If something goes wrong, you can always do a 'reset-nvram' and 'reset-all' inside OF. Andreas
