[edited down the headers] Would it be too weird to do the following quick and dirty thing completely without the need for any documentation on which boot manager you're using: I also had this idea. I suspect that for the critical purpose: writing back that the current opsys is to be rebooted to irrespective of what tunings the manager has, this would do. But there are lots of reasons why its a bad move. its another critical path to go wrong if you change the boot manager in unexpected ways. If the damn thing is installed and hosted from inside FreeBSD, then changes are likely to be made in ways which are self-consistent. I think Jordans comments stand: don't hold your breath. -George
