To lower the timeout to 1 second in the bootblock menu, run: boot0cfg -t 18 The units are BIOS clock ticks, which are about 18.2 per second. To lower the timeout in /boot/loader to 1 second, edit boot/loader.conf and add autoboot_delay="1" More info is in the boot0cfg and loader manpages. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
