Hi All,

I recently installed LILO on my 486 Linux box.  It works pretty well except
that when I choose to boot LINUX, it throws me into on of the SVGA modes.
This is as if I had pressed RETURN instead of space and selected one of these
modes.  I have included the -d option for the lilo command with an argument
of 7 i.e. according to the doc. 7/10 seconds to wait after keyboard
initialisation.  Should I boost this number or is there something more
sinister going on...

Thanks in advance,

Ender
