Journal ObviousGuy's Journal: FreeBSD loader niggle 6
The FreeBSD bootloader does not seem to talk to my USB keyboard, so I have to sit through 10 seconds of 'devil menu' every time I boot up.
It would be nice if this were configurable, skippable, or if the loader would just talk to my USB keyboard so I could skip the menu manually.
No update on the DHCP issue. The machine still isn't talking to the Internet.

I'm wondering if there is a way to configure the bootloader such that the wait time can be lowered to 1 or 2 seconds. I'd hate to do away with it completely because in some circumstances it may be useful to boot into a Safe Mode.

More info here [freebsd.org] and here [freebsd.org]. I've never done this myself (or even used FreeBSD), so proceed with extreme caution!

autoboot_delay="2"
I haven't actually tested it, but it should work.
