If -D is set, > then all i/o from the boot blocks is to and from both the internal console > and the serial console. -D has no effect on the kernel (-h decides the > kernel serial console as usual). -D should normally be set in /boot.config. > - Get help messages from /boot.help. You should copy boot.help from the > biosboot directory to the root directory on the boot drive when you > install new boot blocks. > - New, less invasive keyboard probe. Enable keyboard probe dynamically (-P > flag). Should probably never be used (use -h instead). > - Fixed/improved initialization from boot.config. It didn't interact correctly > with the NAMEBLOCK option, and the initialization of the drive/unit/partition > didn't stick when a non-default kernel name was entered. > - Don't reset or forget the default drive/unit/... or kernel name so often. > - Set the default kernel name to something unbootable after `?'. > - Display the defaults better. > - Removed PROBE_KEYBOARD_LOCK option (use -h instead)., > - Removed BOOT_FORCE_COMCONSOLE option (use device flag 0x20 instead). > - Removed -a (RB_HALT) flag. This flag is only used for reboots. > Submitted by: about 2/3 by yokota You now need to install /boot.help manually when installing new boot blocks. Bruce
