...******************************** I am using binaries from 6.03-pre11 from kernel.org. I used vesamenu.c32 and fdboot.img (FreeDOS) for the example but they are not required. Accepting that this is a silly use of whichsys.c32, running the same thing in both cases, it does illustrate the issue.

Thanks Ady, you were spot on, and I should have tested that scenario! I narrowed the issue down to a line in my config: ALLOWEDOPTIONS 0 The comment next to it in my config indicates this was added to disallow users dropping to the console with Escape or Tab, a restriction I would like to keep. BUT, when this is set whichsys fails to function in the manner I described. And similarly if I end up at the console prompt for any other...
