[Request]Terminal.Item for bootmenu
 
as my title says. i remember that BackupMenu had a terminal(but not any more:().

i had a really intresting convo with someone (who pm'd me). my theory is (im not sure thou, so correct me if im wrong) "/home" isnt mounted during that time so we should be able to "resize" it. right?

anyway if im worng a terminal at boot could be really useful.
i would have done it my self but i don't know were to start (iv googled so...)

Resize it? No.
I believe there is a terminal in multiboot. It was put in there a few versions ago.

By /home you mean the OPT partion?
It's a partition of the EMMC (32GB). If you want to resize it, just get a new emmc image with 5GB or 8GB OPT.

I don't know HOW you get into multiboot's terminal, but I know both version (bootmenu's and multiboot's) of BackupMenu have a terminal that you can get to.

They both ALSO allow you to resize your various partitions / make new ones, because the latest versions of BackupMenu include a bunch of system tools like that (as well as an ability to get in with SSH). At least, if I recall correctly.

As for how, I'm sure the multiboot threads should explain it.

I have tried S and I can't gain access either. I think I had issues with it last time I tried.
