Hi folks, I'm trying to understand how the loader forth works to see if it's possible to develop something similar to knoppix boot menu and use it for FreeSBIE. Just to have a try, I replaced /boot/beastie.4th with file a containing only: ." Welcome to FreeSBIE" exit then I deleted the line mentioning beastie-start from /boot/loader.rc and rebooted my machine. I wanted the machine to print "Welcome to FreeSBIE" and then escape to loader prompt. Saying it didn't work is probably not enough. I got an error message saying "Compile failed" followed by some codes I didn't had the time to copy because my machine auto-rebooted. I must admit I'm a forth newbie. What so important id I miss? Any hint that will make me proceed in the correct direction will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Best regards -- Matteo Riondato FreeBSD Committer (http://www.freebsd.org) G.U.F.I.
