> Ok, how do you enable support for this? As someone else already wrote under whatever subject: Put "/boot/loader" into /boot.config and make sure you have the file /boot/loader (made with the sequence "make depend; make; make install" in /sys/boot) installed. Then the old boot sectors load the new loader instead of the kernel and that is all one has to do. I had to remove a line where the boot loader code tried to set a field for VESA modes in the bootinfo structure which I couldn't find in my version of the include files. Despite this it worked as expected. Only the command line interpreter seemed to have trouble with some errornous input but that's easy to avoid and as it just reboots in case of serious trouble isn't harmfull at all. The rest of information I got by dropping to the new loader's command line with trial & error and from the source. Loading an ELF kernel I didn't try as my loader is 0.8.0 and someone wrote one needs at least 0.8.2 for ELF.
