Kyle,

I've moved to Lua loader to help testing and it worked fine. The only
odd thing I noted is the menu box with odd chars as you can see at [1].

My laptop is running a recent current (r330275) with ZFS and UEFI.

Hi Renato, thanks for testing! Are you booting via BIOS or UEFI?

Hi,

Thanks for testing! =) Can you give it a shot with EFI boot after
r330281 (just committed), please?

I think our working theory is that we were printing newlines along
with our box-drawing characters, and that could be problematic. The
new version handles all of that a little better and respects
loader_menu_frame to boot.

Thanks,

Kyle Evans

Hi,

Unfortunately it didn't change anything.

Aw =(. Can you take a picture of what Forth loader looks like for you
with the default frame style on an EFI boot? I'm wondering if it's not
doing something sneaky that I can't determine from the things I've
looked at.

Thanks,
