I can't help you with your memory problem (have you tried forcing a memory size in your kernel config? "device npx0 ... iosiz 32768" for 32MB), but here's a DOS program that makes the F1 prompt timeout after 20 secs on the Compaq DeskPro machines we have at work. It used to be available from Compaq's support page, but I can't find the link anymore. You'll have to re-run it every time you change your EISA configuration. begin 744 no_f1.com M^C/;L`KF<.1QJ(!T`_OK\+`MYG#D<:@(=2\,"%"P+>9P6.9QL"_F<.1QBMBP ?+N9PY'&*^+@(``/8L"_F<(K#YG&P+N9PBL?F<?O-(.9P ` end -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
