If you already have a /boot/loader.rc file it wouldn't be updated during
the system rebuilding. This is because all platforms' loader Makefiles
have lines like following:
.if !exists(${DESTDIR}/boot/loader.rc)
FILES+= loader.rc
.endif
There are two versions of default loader.rc file:
for i386 and pc98 it is src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc
and for the rest it is src/sys/boot/forth/loader.rc
Only the first version loads the boot menu. You can copy that file to
the /boot directory manually. And to get the old Beastie on the boot
menu you should set a loader_logo variable to 'beastiebw' or to 'beastie'
before 'beastie-start' command there:
\ Load in the boot menu
include /boot/beastie.4th
\ Set the loader logo
set loader_logo=beastiebw
\ Start the boot menu
beastie-start
