One of my F760s pauses at the boot menu (1-5 prompt, usually accessed by CTRL-C I believe) every time it reboots, which is rather annoying as I have to hit 1 to continue the boot.
How can I disable this?
Shut down to the OK prompt and type this
printenv floppy-boot?
If it is set to "true", then that is your problem. Set it to false like this:
setenv floppy-boot? false
This reminds me to ask a question that's been at the back of my mind for a while: is there any way of interrogating the filer boot prom settings *without* shutting down first? I am thinking of something like the eeprom(1m) command in Solaris, which can be used while the system is running.
