I found an linuxjournal article [1] on google. which s ------ begin quote ------ Using the SERIAL option, LILO sets a two second delay (the same as when you put a delay = 20 line in the lilo.conf file) before booting the default kernel image. During this pause, you can interrupt the boot process and get the LILO prompt by sending a break to the terminal as you press the SHIFT key on your main console. ------ end quote ----- [1] <http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2040> -- GRTNX, RobJE _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
