You could use any other editor as well, for example aXe. :-)

Well, it depends on what you mean with `visual config'.

If you're refering to a tool to tailor the kernel config file, hmm,
many people promised to write one, but we have yet to see any...

But, starting in FreeBSD-2.2-current, the UserConfig [not yet TM] has
a `visual' option that makes it easier to use ``boot -c'' on a
supported terminal (graphics console, or VT100-compatible serial
console).
