^ EXECUTE BOOTBLOCK ^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can execute the Bootblock that VBD has in memory (The thing
displayed on the screen!!!). So you don't need to reboot your Amiga to
see the Bootblock!
Be Careful!!! If your Bootblock is a Virus, don't do it!!! The Virus
Will be in memory and could attack your Amiga.
If the Bootblock is a Loader (The Boot of a Demo for example) then you
can't return to VBD and Workbench. The demo will run normally, as if
you had booted from its disk.
Some bootblocks may crash the system (Bad code!!!) with Gurus, Bugs,
Altered screens etc...
It's not VBD's fault!!! Blame the Bootblock coder who badly coded his
boot (no memory allocation, copy boot itself on a physical address or
other coding error).
