I meant that it is very complicated and lots of things depend on the exact way that processes are started during the boot sequence and so it is far from being merely a matter of setting the PID.

the code for BootX has some interesting things. For one thing it calls the kernel as you all know. But as well it displays the "booting" screen. One thing I have always wanted to change is the boot screen.

That is exactly what the shareware program MacBoot does.

You should try talking to the author(s) of MacBoot - maybe they are interested in collaborating. |
