Hello. Is it possible to get bootable cd with auto selectable amd64/i386 boot? For instance , i have a bootable cd with two kernels: * first is located in /boot/kernel.amd64 * second in /boot/kernel.i386 loader.conf has line /kernel=kernel.amd64/ When it boots on amd64 incompatible hardware it start loading the kernel and returns to the loader prompt showing error "Long mode not supported" or something like that. Is it possible to configure loader.conf or any other place to get automatically started with second kernel.i386 from that point instead of waiting for user interaction? WBR, Alexei Volkov.
