I have a question about the new boot loader. My /boot/boot.conf
file looks like this:
load /kernel
autoboot 10
Now suppose I want to boot an alternate kernel. To do that, it seems
I have to interrupt the autoboot sequence by pressing a key, then do
"unload /kernel", then do "boot /kernel.alt". Is that right? It's
the unload step that I'm wondering about. Can it be avoided?
