If you’ve used FreeBSD in the past you’re likely familiar with the mascot, Beastie. In the past Beastie was part of the boot menu, but recently he was replaced with a simple FREEBSD text image. To put Beastie back in the menu you can add the following to your /boot/loader.conf:
loader_logo=”beastiebw”
Next time you reboot you’ll see something a little more fun than the generic FreeBSD text.
