Bruce Evans stands accused of saying: > Get defaults for the boot device (and flags) from the file > "boot.config" (relative to the root directory on the 'a' partition > on the first BSD slice) if it exists.

Are the contents of this file left where the kernel can find them? Is the function able to handle finding files in subdirectories? (Could it look eg. in a single fixed directory, eg /boot?) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
