Short: Requests OS selection in Startup

Type: util/boot

A Small program that puts a "ReqTools" requestor up with two buttons to
select one or the other OS.  Well, that's not entirely true - The "NetBSD"
button is merely a system() call and you can on the command line change
it to something other than the default.

The default is:

"sys:loadbsd sys:vmunix -a"

The command line usage is:

ADOS> breq "your string here"

So it will work with "echo Hello, world" as well as something like:

ADOS> breq "sys:bin/loadbsd >NIL: sys:NetBSD/vmunix -a" 

(the quotes are necessary)

And in my Startup-Sequence (where I use breq)

C:breq >NIL:

If you put something that doesn't work like merely "hello, world" AmigaDOS 
won't freak it'll just give you an "Unknown command" error.

Obviously it is intended for NetBSD and it works fine right after "C:SetPatch"
in my Startup-Sequence though you could obviously add a different string for
whatever other purpose(s) you have. The AmigaDOS button just closes the ReqTools
Library and returns you to whatever you were doing when you called it (ie your
startup-sequence).  BTW, as it is compiled it is looking for version 38+ of
"reqtools.library" and to compile it you'll more than likley need the package
"ReqTools22b.lha" (available in the 'util/libs' subdirectory of aminet)

I offer my thanks to Nico Francois for his excellent ReqTools package and of
course, Markus Wild for bringing NetBSD to the Amiga.

It's simple enough that I'd expect there aren't any bugs - though if there are
I can be contacted at the above internet e-mail address until October of 1994.

Almost forgot - the copyright thingie... breq.c is public domain, freeware in
every last sense of the phrase/word - do what you want with it.

Enjoy...
