# 254108 08-Aug-2013 dteske

Update legacy static assignments in old code to support dynamic framing,
plotting, and alignment coinciding with enhancements in SVN r242667.


# 254105 08-Aug-2013 dteske

Since the introduction of SVN r244048 and [follow-up] r244089, it is now
safe to build upon ``boot_serial?'' functionality to make safer UI choices.


# 244158 12-Dec-2012 dteske

Fix a regression caused by SVN r222417.

Prior to r222417, setting `password' in loader.conf(5) did not prevent boot
but instead only prevented changes to boot options by prompting for password
if autoboot failed or the user interrupted the countdown sequence.
After r222417 the same machine with `password' set in loader.conf(5) would no
longer boot without _always_ entering the password.

This patch restores the old (8.x and older) functionality for password in
loader.conf(5) while adding a new bootlock_password feature to replace the
edge-case should anybody desire the regressed functionality (HINT: great for
PXE servers and/or private distributions).

loader.conf(5) was updated to be more clear with-respect to password setting
(previous text was misleading).

Documentation (loader.conf(5) and check-password.4th(8)) has been updated to
include notes on the new bootlock_password setting.

Special thanks to Alex Verbod for bringing this to my attention and helping to
refine the loader.conf(5) text.

# 228985 30-Dec-2011 pluknet

Unset the environment variables associated with individual menu items
before invoking the kernel.

Quoting submitter:

The issue is with the new boot loader menu. It adds many loader variables
including ones that contain ANSI color escapes.

Obviously, these ANSI codes don't play well with serial consoles when
kenv(1) is executed without arguments (reports vary as to what happens,
but it's never pretty).

The net-effect is that kenv(1) no longer reports menu-related variables.

In essence, kenv(1) output should now appear the same as on RELENG_8
(which lacks the new boot loader and didn't use any such variables).
Thus, restoring serial console glory.

# 225353 02-Sep-2011 jh

Restore behavior of the autoboot_delay="-1" boot menu setting to the
pre-r222417 state. The behavior was essentially reversed in r222417
which can cause confusion.
