My question is a simple one:

Is there an easy way (maybe besides changing the source code
of the kernel?) to make FreeBSD AUTOMATICALLY answer yes to 
the Superflag not set reboot question (caused from not shutting
down correctly)?

I ask this because my server is remote and I absolutely hate
to drive down there just to push the 'y' key on a keyboard when 
the server has experienced some sort of reboot (via temporary
power outages, cleaning crew hitting reset button, etc.)

The server is using 2.1.0 Release, but I'll upgrade it if need
be.
