Re: [RELEASE] New Boot-Loader Menu -- version 1.5

Hi,
this looks very promising!

While you are working on the loader front currently,
would it be possible to implement a "Boot kernel.old"
menue item that unloads all current loaded modules and re-loads
everithing from /boot/kernel.old?

Its difficult to handle manually in the loader (esp. handling the zpool.cache file ) and I got bitten by this issue recently in a ZFS only environment.

Thanks in advance!

Bye/2
