You can set this up so you don't have to type it every time.

Then you can just type "boot" each time. Much easier!

Do you get a message about "/etc/rc.conf is not configured. Multiuser
boot aborted." or somesuch? If so, you need to edit /etc/rc.conf and
change/update a few values. Hopefully the comments will help. Usually,
you should have /usr mounted automatically on boot up. What does your
/etc/fstab have in it?
