(Ok, I'm a newbie, but I've read the faqs, etc...)

What is the easiest way of configuring FreeBSD so that it doesn't
prompt you for any options on bootup?  I need to set up a server
that won't have a keyboard/monitor attached, so I need it to boot
up when the power is turned on without a user having to hit the
enter key.

Thanks,
