FreeBSD Boot Menu Documentation 


In page

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html

there is a "Figure 2-1. FreeBSD Boot Loader Menu" .


To my knowledge , nowhere there is a sufficient information about items in that menu , 
one by one .

A good documentation of that menu ,

especially for items 
( 3 ) ( Safe Mode ) , 
( 4 ) ( Single User Mode ) , 
( 6 ) ( Loader Prompt ) ,
and what can be done if these items are selected , 

may  be a very useful addition to 

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot.html
Chapter 13 The FreeBSD Booting Process

Especially , if a less experienced about FreeBSD person prepares such a documentation
it may be very valuable guide to new users , because
when such documents are prepared by very experienced persons , their 
"assumed knowledge" is not reflected in the documentation .


Thank you very much .
