Subject: [9fans] The lost (9front) boot menus ...
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2019 15:12:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fd2fd7bdc25c7869@orthanc.ca> (raw)

Something I miss in 9front is the 'boot menu' functionality 9labs
had in plan9.ini.  Being able to fall back to an alternative config
was a godsend when debugging fileserver setups.  I'm curious why
that was removed from the 9front bootstrap code.
