:
: I think "ask" or even "m" for menu is easier to understand than a "+"
:
: With this option, there would be 4 different cases at boot time:
:
: no "-boot" option: show boot menu
: -boot ask or -boot m: show boot menu
: -boot d: use cdrom, no boot menu
: -boot d,ask or -boot m: default cdrom, prompt to allow override
:
: I would also like to remind you the boot_set option in the monitor
: which allow one to change the values from the -boot parameter at run
: time.
:
: Another alternative might just be to lower the wait time to 1 or 2s...
I'd suggest that 'menu' is better than 'm' here, unless there's some
reason we're constrained to a single drive letter.
