Re: How to decrease the loader wait-time?

2004-05-24 Thread Frank Mueller
Just add the following line to your /boot/loader.conf:

autoboot_delay=SECONDS

and set the time in seconds for SECONDS.

 Hi!

 I've been staring at the beastie during startup quite a bit now. Even
 though he is a handsome chap to stare at, I still think 10 seconds each
 boot is a bit to much.

 Can someone tell me how I configure the loader to decrease the time delay?
 I kind of figured it would be found in the Handbook, I haven't found it.
 Pointers welcome.

 Thanks.

/boot/loder.conf:
beastie_disable=YES
autoboot_delay=2

works for me.  The variables are defined in the loader manpage (not
loader.conf, which only describes the syntax).

Thanks! I'll try that.

So I didn't read the loader manpage closely enough. I read about
loader.conf, but apparantly that wasn't right.

Thanks for the help!
