I have a really simple problem and should be whipped for posting it here.
I have tried to find the answer though.
I have the boot monitor boot0 (i think) installed on freebsd 6.2. I get a
menu on start up similar to:
F1: FreeBSD
F2: ???
And it is the ?? that is bugging me. I am dual booting with another OS
(minix 3) and I want this to display on the start up prompt.
I checked the handbook, which identified the boot0cfg as the program
responsible for this. There was nothing about editing the items shown in
the menu. I also checked the manual page for bootcfg - nothing there to
help either.
Any help on this?
You can't change it without possibly a significant amount of pain.
You need to edit sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0.S (where I'm assuming
you have ia32 hardare). The resulting compiled image must be 512
bytes (or less?). This is then written into the boott sector of
the hard drive.
