That's right which is why you have a boot menu. The only time I change |
| 20 |
the default in loader.conf is when wanting to use a different kernel on a |
| 21 |
headless system, where I don't have access to the menu. |

The "default 00-*" setting I use is the equivalent of GRUB's "set |
| 24 |
default=0". It's just easier to see as it is 50% of the config file |
| 25 |
rather that 0.5% ;-) |
