I don't think that we ever did that, consciously. Installing loader in installworld is / was a brain damage. Anyway, my main point is that whenever we made significant changes to loader->kernel "interface" we always tried to maintain backward compatibility. And one of the reasons was that installworld != installkernel. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
