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.
The files are:
boot.4th example of file which is always loaded by /boot/loader, if
present in /boot/
screen.4th helpful words for screen manipulation.
frames.4th basic frame drawing primitives. Requires screen.4th.
menu.4th example of simple startup menu.
You're encouraged to add more features to these files - I'm not a Forth
hacker, unfortunately...
