Re: Networking Menu option during boot
I also miss network profiles from Arch. Currently, I have shell scripts for the various networks I need, and run them manually. I don't use hostname.if(5) with trunk or similar, because I simply don't know in advance which network I'll connect to. There's probably a better way of doing this that I'm not aware of. Matej

You are right, the bsd.rd install options pauses the boot process. Still, I think it would be cleaner for those with mobile devices, to establish their desired connection directly as opposed to establishing the default, taking it down, clearing keys in the case of wireless, and bringing it back up. -- J.

Scott, why would you want to do that? Search the list or OpenBSD Journal - there are plethora of scripts for managing wireless networks to choose from or you can write your own. Regards, Raf
