| H A D | color.4th.8 | diff 241361 Mon Oct 08 21:03:46 MDT 2012 dteske Add an echo to say we're "Booting..." when the overloaded "boot" Ficl word is executed to better differentiate between loader-specific errors and kernel- specific errors (if ever any of either). This type of functionality hasn't been required before the introduction of the advanced menu system (r222417). Adding this functionality will help different- iate errors at the loader-level such as a BTX halt caused by heap exhaustion and errors that may be involved with executing the kernel (wrong architecture for example). A user can learn that messages before "Booting..." are related to the loader(8) environment and it's Forth-ilk, while those after are not related to loader(8) -- the point that loader(8) has ``left the building''. This patch also includes a man-page update to color.4th(8) as the color logic moves to a lower-level (from being included by beastie.4th to being included by loader.4th). After noticing a delay between execution of the overloaded "boot" FICL word and the display of text on-screen, gcooper confirmed that the introduction of a builtin memory test (disabled by adding hw.memtest.tests="0" to loader.conf(5)) was the cause of the delay. This patch adds an echo to produce "Booting..." when the overloaded "boot" word is executed (this includes from the interactive command-prompt on all arches, from the menu system on arches that run the beastie menu, and even those arches that run the menu but disable it by setting beastie_disable="YES" in loader.conf(5)). When loader_color="YES" in loader.conf(5), the same message is produced but in white text on a blue background (only the letters produced have this background -- opposed to perhaps the entire line). |
