For ide drives do you give -hda? Info: if I give Enter during the countdown, it starts, if i leave the countdown to finish, it crash. But running with -nographic there isn't sense to give "enter" Leaving delay boot to 10 sec, always block. Set delay boot to 1, it give me some "crash". There is a possibility to run directly the system instead print the menu? I must install lilo/grub? Thanks in advance.
