There is a forth tool available (authored I think by : > matsushita-san), and now that matsushita-san is a committer, maybe it : > will be done in time for 5.0. :-) : : As a fallback, I've been threatening to do a simple userconfig-style : thing in loader itself as a fallback if necessary.. I'd rather not since : that would just make loader bigger still, but it's always there as : a quick/dirty fallback option. : : If my memory serves me correctly, we dont enable bootforth on the 5.0 boot : floppies. This is probably more a symptom of having an identical config : for floppies and cd boot. Now that we have cdboot for i386 all but there, : we should be able to finally do a complete boot for the CD case and a : smaller stripped kernel with esoteric drivers on a seperate disk for the : floppy-only case. Actually, now that I think about it, the module I saw was in 'C'. So someone needs to learn forth to do this. :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
