Isn't this fixed by the commit on the 13 by imp : imp 2003/01/13 13:28:24 PST =20 Modified files: sys/boot/i386/boot2 boot2.c Log: Fix interactive booting: o Revision 1.38 introduced the -n flag. It conflicted with the RB_BOOTINFO flag, so was in effect always on. Change the -n flag to be bit 0x1c instead of 0x1f. This also had the consequence that a mal-= formed /boot.config would render the system unbootable because the user was unable to enter anything at all on the command line. o Remove the initialization of opt to be RB_BOOTINFO since we filter that= bit out and do not otherwise use it. I have not tested this but it sounds the it should be working now? --=20 Simon L.
