does this help?

First, the command TFTPTimeout=(seconds) will increase the default timeout
from
10 seconds to whatever is needed. The initrd and linux tftp download is 40
seconds, so use this as a guide.

Second, you can set the KDBTimeout=(seconds) to automatically
input(simulate
the enter key) the highlighted item. After a few screens, you will see that
it
takes the machine automatically to the TFTP server screen. This allows the
machine to automatically check the TFTP server again for the boot/root
file,
download it, and apply any work to do again.

This will require to unzip the initrd and edit the linuxrc.conf.

bad the guy who is listed all over as the creator and maintainer was
fired/resigned/left Novell a few years ago and attempts at send e-mail
to his address are met with an auto-responder message.

Wow ... I'd like to think the fact that I posted about this guy not
working for Suse anymore had something to do with today's announcement
that he is joining Novel and Suse again :)

Hubert Mantel Returns to Novell
Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday December 21, @09:21PM
from the changing-of-the-guard dept.
Novell SuSE
Krondor writes "Hubert Mantel, SUSE Co-Founder, has confirmed in an
interview with Data Manager Online that he has returned to employment
with Novell. When asked why he left Novell to begin with, Hubert
responded that he was 'burned out' and 'following unpleasant experiences
with our investors needed some time off.' Slashdot had reported
previously Hubert's departure from Novell approximately one year ago
shortly following Novell's acquisition of SUSE and subsequent layoffs.
Hubert also provides his opinions on the Novell-Microsoft Agreement,
which he characterizes as 'a good thing.'"
