Silent Boot
Greetings all.
Yesterday I was making random reading on the handbook and look at booting process. An idea struck me - it is possible to make silent boot - no boot loader, no dmesg, cut beastie menu so no options be available on boot, - nothing, just black screen, and login prompt. Dig a little and .. echo this in /boot/loader.conf Code:
disable_beastie="YES" autoboot_delay="-1" Code:
-nmq and..job done. Almost... BTX loader version is echoed on boot - after system is up and running half of btx message is replaced with login prompt. How to remove BTX loader message ?

Modify, make, make install loader code.

Can you be more specific.. ?

Richardpl, meant you need to modify the BTX loader source and comment out the BTX loader message. Then you need to recompile and install the modified BTX loader
