No, it is definitely not for 7.0. There were some reports that keyboard works quite jerky under the /boot/loader, and some keystrokes were missing. Another, possible related, report was the need to press some key to actually boot, since loader timer did not work. I had no time to look at these problems. Also, it seems that code shall be conditionalized, and either alternate boot2/loader provided, or compile option present to select between vm86 btx/real btx. This was not thought of too. --6TME3aayZmn2Ikqb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHC1KqC3+MBN1Mb4gRAreMAKDN0iGfjC3oOKaKWRXF0jH6IA4ROwCeLu2Y YcOHMylWereBzmV/iWymt0E= =U3TI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --6TME3aayZmn2Ikqb--
