Is there any other way? It's quite a pain to have to boot off an install disk and rename the boot.config file if I need to get into single user mode. Especially since this server takes about 5 minutes to POST. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
