>Description:
	The Beastie menu makes it convenient choosing boot options.
	The Beastie decorating space right to the menu reflects the 
	preference of the majority or all of the FreeBSD developers.
	Their opinion is documented in
	http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/daemon.html .

	However there are users which have a different opinion and which
	don't like the Beastie mascot to be displayed during boot time.

	The question is: are such users
	- welcome
	- tolerated
	- disliked.

	In case they are more or less tolerated what should they do in order
	to switch the Beastie splash screen?

	- renounce of the Beastie menu (beastie_disable="YES") ?
	- spend some hours to dig in mailing lists or dig in
	  http://www.forth.org/tutorials.html ?
	- or have an convenient flag in loaders.conf that allows to
	  run Beastie menu but display some other decoration?

	This patch is related to PR 70231. Just the default behavior is 
	different. The Beastie is still displayed by default. But it
	allows to turn the Beastie splash off more easily.
