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.

|
.Nd known simply as
|
|
.Ic beastie
|
|
.Nd to the right of the boot loader menu.
|
|
The commands of

|
|
Please refer to the
|
|
examples below for the most common situations, and to
|
|
.Xr loader 8
|
|
for additional commands.
|
|

|
|
.Nm ,

|
it must be included
|
|
through the command:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl include beastie.4th
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This line is present in the default
|
|
.Pa /boot/loader.rc
|
|
file, so it is not needed (and should not be re-issued) in a normal setup.
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width disable-module_module -compact -offset indent

|
|
.Dq Li fbsdbw ,
|
|

|
and

|
|
(the default).

|
.Pp
|
|
The position of the logo can be configured by setting the
|
|
.Ic loader_logo_x
|
|
and
|
|
