[FreeBSD] Silent boot - yrmt - 16-08-2012
First, disable the beastie menu:
in /boot/loader.conf:
beastie_disable="YES"
autoboot_delay="-1"
Then you can choose between a silent boot or a splash screen(bmp):
-- Silent boot:
echo "-nmq" > /boot.config, as root.
-- Splash screen:
in /boot/loader.conf, the image must be a bmp and can not be more than 1024x768.
vesa_load="YES"
bitmap_load="YES"
splash_bmp_load="YES"
bitmap_name="/boot/splash.bmp"
-- Silent rc output:
in rc.conf:
rc_startmsgs="NO"
