I'm trying to boot and get
Boot loader too large
not matter if I boot from disk or pxe.
The pmbr is 512 bytes, so what causes it to overshoot?
I don't know x86 assembler (nor want to :-), but the comment says:
545k should be enough
so what's going on?

Garrett Cooper and a few others have requested that I write a patch to fix a

The issue is with the new boot loader menu. It adds many loader variables
including ones that contain ANSI color escapes.
Obviously, these ANSI codes don&#
the same as the previous
loader (module_path was /boot/kernel.GENERIC;/boot/kernel;/boot/modules), so I
think the new boot loader menus work fine in this regard.
How exactly are you reproducing your broken case Doug? Do you have any
settings in /boot/loader.conf or /boot/loader.conf

Hmmm...
The last change to the FICL word "boot" was 10 years, 9 months ago, by dcs in
version 1.1
There also seems to be a bug with the new boot loader that if you bounce
out to the prompt and do 'boot kernel.other' the kern.module_path sysctl
is not updated. It still lists /boot/kernel first; but that should be
replaced by /boot/kernel.other.

Hi Hackers,
I'm pleased to announce version 1.6 of my new boot loader menu software.

IMHO, it shows that you can tell the loader about kernels.

Actually , a Kernel Selection menu in front of the Boot Loader menu is a
more flexible method :
First select kernel , then select its booting structure with the above

My opinion is that , they should NOT be COMBINED into one single menu
Hi,
this looks very promising!
While you are working on the loader front currently,
would it be possible to implement a "Boot kernel.old"
