If the 'prompt' setting of the menu section is set to 1, a menu text
will be displayed during IPL and the boot program will wait for user
input:
[...]
If the 'timeout' option has been used, the boot menu will automatically
start the default configuration after the specified number of seconds
has passed without user input.
[...]
The loadparm function is available even if the menu has been deacti-
vated by setting 'prompt' to zero or by installing only a single con-
figuration. The menu can then be temporarily activated by passing the
string 'prompt' via the loadparm function:
#cp ipl 0192 loadparm prompt
