Is BOOTWAIT still used? A quick grep in sys/boot shows nothing. Digging history, BOOTWAIT never made its way from sys/i386/boot to sys/boot/i386 and was removed in r58284 around 11y ago. And more recently it disappeared from pc98, see r201342. %% Index: share/examples/etc/make.conf =================================================================== --- share/examples/etc/make.conf (revision 219947) +++ share/examples/etc/make.conf (working copy) @@ -138,14 +138,6 @@ #PRINTERDEVICE= ps # # -# How long to wait for a console keypress before booting the default kernel. -# This value is approximately in milliseconds.
