Here's a detailed discussion of the release complete with pictures: http://devinteske.com/new-freebsd-boot-loader-menu Here's the download: http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/loader_menu-1.0.tgz The download is a FreeBSD package. You can execute: fetch [aboveURL] pkg_add loader_menu-1.0.tgz reboot And upon your next boot will use the new loader menu. A feature-complete sophisticated boot menu designed from the ground up. Although I personally never use the boot menu it's nice to see someone trying to make it more usable for the average FreeBSD user. -- Gary Jennejohn ___ 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

Community contributions under a useful license :-) Here's the download: http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/loader_menu-1.0.tgz Painless installation - thanks! And upon your next boot will use the new loader menu. A feature-complete sophisticated boot menu designed from the ground up. The delay loading boot menu seems longer than it used to be. Perhaps this is because I never paid attention or maybe because the progress bar with the dots draws attention to it. Regardless this loader makes a lot more sense to me than the original. I've always wanted to be able to be into SUM verbose logging or other combinations. I tested this on a Lenovo G530 laptop and it seems to work fine with a few different combinations as well as at the prompt. Thanks for your work! double-w00t! Time for the cake and punch!
