: The boot0 menu is run from "/boot/loader.rc". You can pretty much
: do whatever you want there... in the forth language :-)
:
: It is also possible to bypass the forth loader entirely by
: modifying /boot.config (the boot2 config file). By default boot2
: runs /boot/loader but you can give it a different command to run
: in /boot.config. I'm not entirely sure of the format, it might just
: be the path to the program to load and options, e.g. '/kernel', or it
: might not. If you screw up you might have to boot from the live CD
: to get back in and fix it.
Oops, I'm sorry I misspoke. I meant the boot2 menu. People have already
posted how to get rid of the boot0 menu.
However, I recommend against it. Having the prompts there give you a
safety valve to boot a backup kernel or boot into single-user mode if
you blow something up.
