Hello Ian, Wednesday, October 31, 2018, 1:58:49 AM, you wrote: > While loader(8) is loading the kernel, interrupt it to get the console > prompt (or ask the menu to give the prompt if you use menus) and do: > unload > set currdev=disk0p2 > boot Thnx! Is it possible to pass this information from gptboot(8) to loader(8) somehow? Selecting "active" partition this way looks tedious. IMHO, better solution will be add some interactivity to gptboot(8) akin to super-compact, but mighty boot0(8) -- Best regards, Lev mailto:lev@FreeBSD.org
