The options are lined up, and enabled options are drawn in reverse video when loader_color=1 is set in /boot/loader.conf. Just reminding people about this now that 9.0 is out. It makes what I feel are genuine usability and readability improvements to the boot menu. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
