Theres a few ways to disable beastie, and sorry for the top posting:
Firstly, there was a large discussion about this started by someone
and it is on marc.theaimsgroup
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-questionsw=2r=1s=Stupid+ASCII+loader+prompt+q=b
I didn't feel like reading them all again, but the answer to your
problem IS in one of those.
The way to disable the beastie loader is:
in /boot/loader.conf set
beastie_disable=YES
Enjoy,
Tomas

The boot menu has changed between 4.x and 5.x releases. I have
searched the handbook and can not find any written documentation
about the new beastie boot options, what they are and when each one
is intended to be used. I see a lot of posts about the beastie
figure but nothing about what the options mean. If it's written
somewhere can someone point me to it and if not can I get an
explanation?
Seriously?
Well, let's see.
ACPI: see man acpi for a start.
Safe Mode: configures the system to avoid all possible hardware
compatibility problems, at a severe cost in performance.
single user mode: see the Handbook.
verbose logging: many informational messages will be logged (by the
kernel) to the console in the process of booting.
Escape to loader prompt: see man loader.
USB keyboard: take your computer to your nearest computer store and
ask them whether you have a USB keyboard or not.
Generally, default will be the right answer unless you know you need
something else.
Good luck.
