                       Suppressing the MP/M Loader Display
                       -----------------------------------
     
     
           When the MP/M 1.0 loader reads in and relocates the MPM.SYS
       file, a load map is diplayed on console #0.  In some applications
       it may be desirable to suppress this display.
   
           The MP/M loader display can be suppressed as follows:
   
           1.)  Edit the LDRBIOS.ASM file, replacing the console output
       code with a RET instruction.
   
           ;Loader BIOS jump vector
   
                   ...
                   jmp     conout
                   ...
   
           conout:
                   ret
   
           2.)  Follow the steps provided in Application Note #01 to
       integrate the new LDRBIOS into the MPMLDR.COM file.
   
           3.)  Follow the steps provided in Application Note #02 to
       update the cold start loader with the new MPMLDR.COM file.
