Hi, For a while I have been frustrated that the /boot.config -D option only works for the boot1/2 and has no effect in the loader. http://www.devrandom.co.uk/freebsd/bootmulti.diff contails patches to support multiple consoles in the loader, and allows a single -D option in /boot.config to give dual console support to the bootblocks, the loader and the kernel. Before I go ahead and tidy the patches up, document the changes and code the non-i386 parts, is this something that is wanted? It always seemed strange to me that boot2 could support dual consoles, while the loader couldn't even with it's very nice console framework code. GavinReceived on Fri Apr 30 2004 - 06:03:38 UTC
