Will keep fiddling with it, thanks for > enabling me to go ELF, all the way. /boot.config is read by the 'initial' bootstrap, the tool which in turn loads /boot/loader. This is transitional; eventually it will be able to go away. /boot/boot.conf (whose name may yet change, eg. /boot/loader.rc - no firm decisions yet) is read as a startup script by the 'loader' program. It can contain commands for this program; you can get a brief summary of these by typing '?' at the loader prompt. More complete help is still on the whiteboard. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
