You must choose between boot.4th or +loader.rc, though. Copy one or the other, but not both. Also, menu.4th is +only used by boot.4th, and menuconf.4th is only used by loader.rc, so you +don't need to copy both files. + +The files are: + +boot.4th example of file which is always loaded by /boot/loader, if + present in /boot/ +loader.rc example of file which is always loader by /boot/loader, if + present in /boot/ +screen.4th helpful words for screen manipulation. +frames.4th basic frame drawing primitives. Requires screen.4th. +menu.4th example of simple startup menu. +menuconf.4th another example of simples startup menu. + +You're encouraged to add more features to these files - I'm not a Forth +hacker, unfortunately... + +Andrzej Bialecki +<abial@freebsd.org> + +If you use loader.rc/menuconf.4th, be sure to create /boot/stable.conf and +/boot/current.conf, like described in loader.conf(5), with appropriate +configuration to distinguish one from the other. + +Daniel C.
