There are two boot loaders, the small one that gives you the boot: (not literaly, I hope! :) and the "loader" which counts down the seconds for you. If you get as far as the loader, there is quite a bit you can do. There is even online help. You should look at the variable "currdev". If this is not correct, set the variable "rootdev" to the proper value, and this will override the currdev setting. If you get this working, you can put these variables into /boot/loader.conf so you don't have to type them every time. -Paul.
