Additional boot menu options

[balanga]

Is there any way to add new boot menu options to the FreeBSD boot menu to enable the loading of differenent /boot/loader.confs or different configuration parameters?

Sure, see menu.4th(8) and /boot/menu.rc

Note that those scripts are not shell scripts but are written in Fortran.

are written in Fortran

If you find out, that Fortran does not help here, give Forth a look

An ANS Forth compatible Forth interpreter based on FICL might help.

Oh, duh. It's Forth indeed.
