Now with the new boot loader cvsup'ed yesterday morning CEST I noticed that the "autoboot 5" I specified in /boot/boot.conf does get executed but has no count down. I have to press ENTER to get it to boot. My memory claims the one from Saturday worked when I experimented with it. Another thing I noticed is the size. Why does it have about 188 KByte of initialized data making it a nearly 200 KByte large executable? Is this something strange with my configuration causing this, a bug or intentional?
