ALPHA3 niggles

[Brian Scott]

Hi,

Just a couple of small observations with 12.0-ALPHA3 from testing on a
Raspberry-Pi 3:

*    The boot loader (I presume the new LUA based one) is sending escape
sequences to the screen to format up a boot menu. The screen doesn't
recognise them and shows a series of ^[ style sequences instead.

*    The timeout countdown of the boot loader has reverted to very slow.
The loader did this earlier in the year on -CURRENT but had obviously
been fixed for a few months now. Maybe some change needs to be adapted
from the old to the new loader.

*    The root user on the image doesn't have a .login file.

I realise these are all cosmetic issues in the overall scheme of things
but if anyone is working on a bit of spit-and-polish for the new release
they might want to have a look at a few of these.

Otherwise I'm happy to say that I haven't found any significant problems
yet. I'll keep looking though.

Keep up the good work,

Brian
