    Hi everybody,
    can anyone please give me some advice on how to edit
    the boot message I see when I boot my PC. I've both XP
    and FreeBSD latest release, and I see "F1: DOS CR F2:
    FreeBSD CR Default: F1". I've gone to /boot directory
    and searched with "strings" command in all files, and
    I've seen these strings in binary files. Does anyone
    know how could I edit it in order to modify these
    entries?. Many thanks

    Jose
