Removing the boot menu (9.0-RELEASE)

K

Hello All,

I have just upgraded my main development machine to FreeBSD 9.0 and am trying to get used to some of the changes. The first one is to remove the boot menu.

With releases <= 8.2 I could just add this to /boot/loader.conf

Code: 
beastie_disable="YES"
autoboot_delay="-1"

But now, this file seems to have been removed.

Any Suggestions?
 
I can assure you that /boot/loader.conf is alive and well on FreeBSD 9, and an upgrade doesn't remove it (or I would have lost it dozens of times). Just recreate it. You should also still have /boot/defaults/loader.conf.
 
Ah cool, so it is.

Whilst hammering the tab completion button, I came across loader.4th and must have panicked!

Admittedly it has been quite a while since I have actually done a fresh install.

Thanks.
