I've seen other places use this, and I would commit it. :) How would this affect systems where you *have* to hit enter at the first "boot:" prompt in order to kick off a boot sequence? I've got two identical machines (same hardware, cloned hard drives), and one of them simply won't boot unless you hit enter. Turning off console imput would render this system useless after a reboot :) I think there's a PR open about this somewhere. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
