Here you can find some simple examples how to use BootFORTH (part of the
|
|
|
|
|
new bootloader) together with terminal emulation code (available when
|
|
|
|
|
compiling /sys/boot/i386/libi386 with -DTERM_EMU).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Normally, you can place the files in /boot as they are here, and they will be
|

|
|
|
automatically loaded by /boot/loader. You must choose between boot.4th or
|
|
|
|
|
loader.rc, though. Copy one or the other, but not both. Also, menu.4th is
|
|
|
|
|
only used by boot.4th, and menuconf.4th is only used by loader.rc, so you
|
|
|
|
|
don't need to copy both files.

If you use loader.rc/menuconf.4th, be sure to create /boot/stable.conf and
|
|
|
|
|
/boot/current.conf, like described in loader.conf(5), with appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
configuration to distinguish one from the other.
