reboot options
Is there a way to specify which boot option to choose on the next reboot? I often find that I'll start a reboot and then get distracted by something else and miss my chance to specify which way to boot before the beastie screen times out. A nit, I know -- but bothersome to a nitwit such as I. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden| sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com| http://chipsquips.com pgpNeLCYroXsI.pgp Description: PGP signature
