Gobbldy-gook! Yuk. I need help. All I want to do is add another menu option that will do the equivalent of: cyclic_load="YES" dtrace_load="YES" etc and then boot. Adding the menu option was simple. But it seems that the loader code does the module loading *before* the menu is displayed and simply doing the setenvs when the key press is detected is too late -- they get ignored. Doing the setenv and then a boot-conf resets everything to what was read from the config files. Grumble. I see that the acpi implementation cheats and that module gets loaded from the C-code. Is that because the design of the loader forth doesn't allow this? This is probably really simple for a forth programmer. Which I'm not. Can anyone tell me how to do it? -- John Birrell
