>Number: 8105 >Category: i386 >Synopsis: boot.help behavior is broken >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed Sep 30 11:20:01 PDT 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Jordan K. Hubbard >Organization: FreeBSD Project >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.5(?) and later >Environment: Any version of the boot blocks after Bruce added his boot.help printing code. >Description: The boot.help text is mistakenly printed multiple times rather than just once or in response to a specific command. This causes its text to scroll away other more useful output, such as the file listing (`?') the user may have just requested, and there's no way to turn it off. >How-To-Repeat: Boot a FreeBSD boot floppy and attempt to get a file listing of /sbin/? or something. >Fix: Convince Bruce to make the code a one-shot, hoping that a PR will succeed where previous suggestions have failed. :) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
