Does not seem to work for me, for 10.1: I set all the values at loader prompt, issue `boot -s' -- and then, last loader line (kernel load process) goes to both java KVM and sol, and then kernel messages only to KVM, and finally prompt for single user shell -- nowhere :( -- Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] [ FreeBSD committer: marck@FreeBSD.org ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck@rinet.ru *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------
