    When you use FreeBSD's boot manager, you get a menu like this at bootup:

    F1 DOS
    F2 FreeBSD
    F3 Linux
    F4 ??
    F5 Drive 1

    Default: F2

    Is there a way to edit the list? Or is that fixed when boot manager is
    installed and not configurable?

    By edit, I mean, for example, change F4 ?? to F4 MyOS.
