Automatically pass boot prompt
« on: February 13, 2013, 06:26:27 AM »
I wanted to automatically pass boot prompt at startup.

I used qremaster and added bootcodes.
(To pass boot prompt was not my only reason for remaster)
But I still need to press enter.

How can this be done automatically

I have edited the file /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

I have tried with

Code: [Select]
prompt 0
timeout 0

I have tried to remove them

if they are removed there is a delay with 20 seconds

I will now try timeout 1 and see

any other ideas

I'm curious if there is a way to pass the boot prompt (or change the delay to 2 seconds) when booting from CD. I'm guessing that remastering is needed; however, I don't see anything on the boot options section of the wiki that appears to do what I want.

Can someone give me a pointer?

Hi jeffbrl
See:
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#PROMPT_flag_val
and:
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#TIMEOUT_timeout
This should give you a prompt and time out in two seconds.
Code: [Select]
prompt 1
timeout 20
Yes, you need to remaster.
