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?
Cheers, CM
At the ok prompt, type "unsetenv floppy-boot?". I believe that should fix it.

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
I'm pretty sure that the name has a ? at the end. If not, then try "floppy-boot".

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.

Thanks for all the (very speedy) replies. That certainly did the trick. I'll summarize here just in case anybody missed it!
At the 'ok' prompt, unset the following: ok unsetenv floppy-boot? Alternatively, ok setenv floppy-boot? false
Cheers, CM
