Description
It seems the autoboot_delay in loader.conf has been set/left at the default 10 seconds. It seems 2.3 and prior have all been set for 3 seconds. Is there a reason it has been left, or will this be corrected by release of 2.4?

Most likely cause is that the setting isn't being put in place by the new installer

Am I correct that this is only set during install and we have to set it manually if already installed? Wouldn't it get wiped out during updates?

Yes, it's done as it always was. Set on /boot/loader.conf during install. But it's not wiped out during updates because code that touches /boot/loader.conf only touches specific lines and preserve others. You can set it manually on already installed systems

It's still missing after installing from a current snapshot. /boot/loader.conf contains only:
comconsole_speed="115200" hw.usb.no_pf="1"

Fixed installer bits, it should be fine on next round of snapshots

Confirmed fix on today's snapshot, keeping it as feedback to hear from JimP test results as well

Works fine now, it's there after install
