How can I change the labels for the bootLoader

[Sina]

Hello everyone,

I have a dual boot system with Windows 2000 and Freebsd 4.4.

I'm using the Freebsd boot loader and the only thing I like to change is the lables.

? F1
Freebsd F2
Freebsd F3

I know under linux we are able to change the labels, but How can I do the same in Freebsd?

Thanks

It is not the BTX which produces the F prompts, it is booteasy, that is
/boot/boot0. This comes some an assembly source
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0.s
that you need to hack.
Good luck!
