Did you try pressing the 'F1' key? There is *no* need to flame anybody here. I had exactly the same problem, except that it offered me the choice between F1 for FreeBSD and F5 for the second disk. F1 did not work, F5 did. (And since I have FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on the second disk, I could still boot from the first disk thanks to the known bug in its boot loader, which boots always from the first disk.) -- Juergen Nickelsen
