Please note that graphical loaders are not very serial console
friendly ;-) Yes! Real computers have RS-232 consoles. And please stick with plain ASCII text. The current bootloader is at best ugly and at worst unusable on some terminals. AFAIK the bootloader doesn't have termcap/terminfo available.
The default needs to work everywhere. A bootloader does not need to be pretty. If you want a pretty bootloader, put it off to the side and those who both can
and want to run it can enable it once the basics are running. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
