The program 'loader' is respocible for the last part of the bootstrapping stage,
one of the things it does is displaying the above message and loading the
selected kernel. The 'loader' has a configuration file located in the '/boot'
dir. It works kinda like the '/etc/rc.conf' file, it also has a default file
located in the '/boot/default/loader.conf' (take a look at it, there are some
interesting things in there). As you browse through this file you'll find an
option 'autoboot_delay="10"' which is commented out. Like the 'rc.conf' file
you don't edit it here but in '/boot/loader.conf'. If this file doesn't exist:
create it. Place the following in this file:
autoboot_delay="[NR OF SECOND]" e.g. autoboot_delay="3"
Reboot youre machine and you'll see that the delay time has changed. If you
change the time to zero seconds, no question will be asked and the '/kernel'
file will be used as kernel and loaded. |
