If the kernel is already there, you can't avoid that prompt without *some* interaction. I don't think you can tweak this from boot.cfg There's probably no good default for db_more prompt, as there are situations where someone wants it on and someone off. May be we should make that into a boot argument, so that if a script talks to the console, it can issue the corresponding boot command at a well defined time instead of doing expect-like things? Or may be force the paging off for db_cmd_on_enter. PS: xen console seems to forcibly override db_max_line to avoid paging prompt. -uwe
