Does that mean you're volunteering to be my mentor? :)
The patches are on my hard disk. I've been working on it
every now and then, just for fun. I'm going to clean them
up and commit them to my P4 branch on perforce.freebsd.org
at //depot/user/olli/boot (will take a few days, I think).
But to go any further I need some help from a committer.
There are a few code design decisions that I cannot do on
my own.
BTW, my patches add a few FICL words (forth commands) to
the loader (i386 and amd64 only). They implement simple
graphics commands (dots, lines, triangles, circles), text
output using proportional fonts loaded from the boot
device, and display of PCX images. The above screen shot
is simply a PCX background image containing the logo,
and some text for the menu at the top. Very simple.
Currently only 16 color standard VGA modes are supported
(4 bit depth), but that should be sufficient for a start.
Those who want Beastie back can replace the background
image with one showing the BSD daemon, of course. It's
just a matter of replacing the PCX file.
ASCII art was yesterday. ;-)
Best regards
Oliver
