That's right which is why you have a boot menu. The only time I change the default in loader.conf is when wanting to use a different kernel on a headless system, where I don't have access to the menu. The "default 00-*" setting I use is the equivalent of GRUB's "set default=0". It's just easier to see as it is 50% of the config file rather that 0.5% ;-) -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 19: Passive aggression
