New data on the Be and B abundances in halo stars indicate a linear correlation with metallicity. Such a `primary' behaviour of these light elements doesn't support the scenario where their production occurs in the interstellar medium, through spallation reactions. Be and B are probably produced in the oxygen-rich ejecta of type II supernovae. The right amount of those elements can be obtained if each supernova event converts about 10^51 erg into high energy particles and the irradiation time is about 100-1000 years. The positive detection of ^6Li in HD 84937 constrains the early cosmic ray intensity to values comparable to those presently found in the galactic disk.
