I'm trying to get beastie.4th to allow me to select either
amd64 or i386 as my running system. I can get this to happen
from the boot loader using:
set currdev=disk1s1d
set rootdev=disk1s1d
unload
load /boot/kernel/kernel
load /boot/kernel/acpi.ko
load /boot/kernel/hptmv.ko
boot
But Im at a loss when it comes to altering beastie.4th to
replicate these steps I've currently added a menu option
with the following code:
...
dup booti386key @ = if
s" disk1s1d" s " currdev" setenv
s" disk1s1d" s " rootdev" setenv
0 boot
then
....
So all I need to do is replicate the unload / load steps
I though this would be just like:
dup booti386key @ = if
s" disk1s1d" s " currdev" setenv
s" disk1s1d" s " rootdev" setenv
unload
load /boot/kernel/kernel
load /boot/kernel/acpi.ko
load /boot/kernel/hptmv.ko
0 boot
then
When I that it wasn't pretty, rescue disk.. as I didn't even
get the menu. I've had a look at some forth guides but have
been unable to come up with the correct way of making this
work.
Can someone point me in the right direction ?
Steve
