Hmmm...
The last change to the FICL word boot was 10 years, 9 months ago, by dcs in
version 1.19 of sys/boot/forth/loader.4th.

Hi,
this looks very promising!
While you are working on the loader front currently,
would it be possible to implement a Boot kernel.old

everithing from /boot/kernel.old?
Its difficult to handle manually in the loader (esp. handling

There's really only room for one or two more menu items.
Perhaps some items could be moved to a 2nd level menu?
1) boot multiuser mode ( default )
2) boot single user mode
3) menu to set boot options
4) help
Would be nice: a fix for having to lean on a key autorepeating
for a couple seconds.

I hope that works for serial console. VT100 may be a reasonable
default in that case, but it would be good to make sure that menu

Including an option for no logo? (For consoles that are slow and/or
