> Subject: [PATCH] Fix kenv(1) output in w/respect to new boot loader variables
> 
> Garrett Cooper and a few others have requested that I write a patch to fix a
> regression w/respect to kenv(1) output in FreeBSD-9.0 and HEAD.
> 
> The issue is with the new boot loader menu. It adds many loader variables
> including ones that contain ANSI color escapes.
> 
> Obviously, these ANSI codes don't play well with serial consoles when kenv(1)
is
> executed without arguments (reports vary as to what happens, but it's never
> pretty).
> 
> Attached is a patch to the Forth code that clears-out the menu-associated
> variables before invoking the kernel.
> 
> The net-effect is that kenv(1) no longer reports menu-related variables.
> 
> In essence, kenv(1) output should now appear the same as on RELENG_8 (which
> lacks the new boot loader and didn't use any such variables). Thus, restoring
> serial console glory.
