That would explain the ’kernel’ name in quotes, but I have such a > kernel… Also, just nitpicking, but "can’t" should be capitalized. (CC'ing Rod, since he also commented on this) I'm only directly responsible for the first two messages. =) I've removed the second one, though, since it was a carry-over from when it would try to load the selected kernel and then some default kernel that might be in your module_path. We can look at changing "can't load 'kernel'" to capitalize and remove the contraction, but that's common loader stuff and should've also been displayed for the same Forth scenario. > Then, I have just remembered why I was seeing a higher resolution menu > before: I had set 'gop set 0' in /boot/loader.rc.local.

This is actually a Forth file, so we can't really maintain all of the functionality that would have been allowed there. Technically, things like this should probably either appear in your loader.conf(5) in the form of 'exec="gop set 3"' to be applied when loader.conf(5) is read, or we should provide some other means of running pure loader command scripts at different points in the loader sequence. (CC Warner, because he probably has thoughts about this latter idea)Received on Wed Feb 21 2018 - 12:58:56 UTC
