Hello -

I was hoping some of you could share your thoughts on how to best
secure the FreeBSD boot process. I've taken the time to harden the
system and verify that console and the like are "insecure", but I
would also like to limit anyone from even getting to the "ok"
prompt.

note that I cannot disable going to this prompt as I may need to. Is
there a way to set a password on it?

Thanks.

Bill
