Extend `autoboot_delay' handling - is this variable is set to -1 don't allow

2005-05-19T23:03:02+00:00

user to interrupt autoboot process at all. Currently, even when
`autoboot_delay' is set to 0, loader(8) still allows autoboot process to be
interrupted by pressing any key on the console when the loader reads kernel
and modules from the disk. In some cases (i.e. untrusted environment) such
behaviour is highly indesirable and user should not be allowed to interfere
with the autoboot process at all.

by itself.

The "autoboot" command also has a third (optional) parameter.

Don't give instructions on how to disable ACPI in the MI section.

For novice users, beastie.4th can just do it.  Expert users can
read ACPI instructions by typing "help ACPI".

Fixed the default value of the $prompt variable, document what

2004-09-30T17:11:26+00:00

happens if $prompt is unset.

Mention "help index" in the online help, and provide a help for

2004-09-30T13:47:30+00:00

the `?' command.

Document boot_cdrom, boot_multicons, and boot_serial.

2004-09-30T13:09:00+00:00

Reduce diffs between help.common and loader(8).
Mention that boot_userconfig is currently a no-op.

Document vfs.root.mountdelay value.
