firstly, sorry for the late reaction ... i needed some time off ... but yes
its deliberately settyped to `text' or left that way. This file is for
editing indeed and is explicitly run by "*obey" in the !Run file. To run
the bootloader simply double click on its Application Icon or run the
!BtNetBSD.!Run file... thats all :)
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
