It *is* possible, albeit somewhat fiddly. Using termtype selection 1, you can use Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P to move up and down the list (you will see the cursor flash on the screen momentarily indictating the menu choice), space to select, and Ctrl-D to delete. Like I say - fiddly, but better than nothing if for some reason you are unable to install via a serial console :) -- /Nick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
