I described this badly. Let me try again. Given a working fileserver config, I want something that does 'user=foo; nobootpromt=bar', but with a (say) five second timeout. This is different from the current scheme that provides an escape, but which requires manual intervention. What I'm looking for is a timed-out option from the 'nobootprompt=' config, that lets me override, but only if I'm right there. It's the same as how (e.g. FreeBSD) lets you interrupt the boot process and muck about. But if you don't, it times out and boots the 'default' configuration.
