I'm sure others here agree. It'd be interesting to see if we could get a boot loader that has an option to boot a backup image, or maybe off network.. I know that by the time we got this far we are supposed to be beyond that, but who knows what is actually possible. I'd love to see a picoBSD image available for booting in emergencies. Whether in it's own partition, or just a file in the root partition (or wherever) that can be loaded as a root filesystem. having the ability to recover from really bad screwups is why you need the menus in the first place usually. not sure what is really possible.home | help
