Hi,
Yesterday I've installed 6.1. After rebooting, I got the beastie
loader screen. I've typed 8 (reboot) to get into the
raid bios again, but then the server freezed. Does this happen
only to me or is it a common problem ?
The server affected is a IBM 346 X-Series server with 2 CPUS.

I believe your instructions are worth preserving. Any chance of you
adding that to (eg) /usr/src/sys/boot/README or into the ficl or forth

This does not just make the Beastie right to the menu disappear but
will not present the menu at all.

I'd hope that this is only a temporary measure until someone can get

Speaking of beasties and such, how do you propose to deal with 'daemons'?

I would have been happy to remain silent on this, but it led to Scott's

_Screw_ the mascot. In fact, screw all the mascots (plural). This is a free

I'd rather like the option of switching the logo on, but default to it off for
those who find it offensive. I'll be honest and say that I don't understand
people finding ASCII art such as the Beastie offensive, but everybody is
