Haiku triple-boot woes

We already have this feature in the BIOS loader (“view previous syslog”), and some support for it generically in the bootloader itself, so if it’s possible to implement this in the EFI loader too, that could be useful.

Just happened again but… funny thing, holding the power button for a bit got the boot sequence started for some reason.

Managed to get on-screen debugging going and got a KDL

Anyway, the overall situation hasn’t changed since the first post.

Only “news” is playing with the shutdown button seems to coerce the boot process into going forward if it seems stuck.
Maybe it’s like pounding on a TV to make it work but eh, as long as it works I guess.

This KDL is somewhat expected if you have on-screen output enabled along with onscreen paging on an SMP system.

I’ll see about adding some better locking here to avoid that, but there are some situations where it’s practically unavoidable.

Did that in hrev58849.
