Is there a way to view the contents of a text file (specifically, /boot/loader.rc) with BTX? Now that there are all these nifty new modules, my kernel is a lot smaller and my /boot/loader.rc is a lot longer. The way I have my /boot/loader.rc setup is such that it unloads everythin automatically loaded if I drop to the BTX prompt instead of autobooting. This is fairly convenient except when I want to boot an alternate kernel but still load all the same modules that I use in my default kernel. If there isn't such a feature, it would be really nice if there were a 'cat' command or something along those lines so that I could read the contents of /boot/loader.rc and get everything properly reloaded by hand. Could it be added or could I just make my own somehow? Thanks a bunch. -Patrick Patrick L.
