Is there a simple way to configure the boot loader so that it immediately boots freebsd from the harddisk without having to get the beastie menu and pressing the 1 key. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have a look at /boot/defaults/loader.conf - there ought to be something there. Then, add it to /boot/loader.conf -- Best regards, Chris When somebody drops something, everybody will kick it around instead of picking it up. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there a simple way to configure the boot loader so that it immediately boots freebsd from the harddisk without having to get the beastie menu and pressing the 1 key. This may seem a bit basic, but you realise that you don't have to press the '1' key, right? It'll boot up after the timeout. It's only like 10 seconds or so and the other options can be quite useful if you happen to need to boot to single user mode. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the last episode (Nov 21), Kevin Smith said: Is there a simple way to configure the boot loader so that it immediately boots freebsd from the harddisk without having to get the beastie menu and pressing the 1 key. I use this in loader.conf: beastie_disable=YES autoboot_delay=1 That way you still have a 1-second window where you can hit space -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: bypass beastie press 1 to boot
I prefer that I don't have to wait for timeout - ie it just boots directly with no timeout or interaction from user. thanks, -K Eric Kjeldergaard wrote: Is there a simple way to configure the boot loader so that it immediately boots freebsd from the harddisk without having to get the beastie menu and pressing the 1 key.

Kevin Smith, who happens to be smarter than you, thinks: I prefer that I don't have to wait for timeout - ie it just boots directly with no timeout or interaction from user. Check the section 'Loader Settings' of /boot/defaults/loader.conf and override the default configuration in /boot/loader.conf (don't tune /boot/defaults/loader.conf), you might be interested in autoboot_delay, and beastie_disable. -- Manuel Rabade Garcia WWW - http://mig-29.net GPG - 1024D/AA3325C0 2002-09-30 Fingerprint - D2E5 76E1 CE2D 8783 545D 1F41 399B 5765 AA33 25C0 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
