- Subject: kernal switcher?
- Lines: 12
-
- Is there any sort bootstrap for 386bsd that will let me choose which
- kernel to boot up (so it would boot 386bsd by default, but I could make
- something like 386bsd.x if I wanted to run X). I would like to run the
- pcvt console driver, but I also use X sometimes (rarely, but enough that
- I don't want to trash it). So, it would be nice to have two kernels
- compiled, one that runs pcvt, and one that doesn't so that I can run X.
-
- Otherwise I guess I could write a shell script that just linked the
- appropriate kernel to 386bsd and rebooted, but this would be nicer.
