Missing Default timeout in bootp

26 Jun 2006

      Dear Comrade Admins,

I have a small but nasty problem with autoinstall.
I use SuSE Linux 10.0's autoyast.

All is fine but after all packages  are installed the system is prepared
for the first initial boot. In this step there is obvioulsy
the boot  timeout set to 0 which means the system waits
forever to boot. One Return plugged in on the Keyboard is enough and ibooting occurs
successfully.

The boot timeout in the final system is o.k. (set to 8 as defined in the bootlader
section of the controlfile ) by:
snip..

        <key>timeout</key>
        <value config:type="integer">8</value>

snap..

Any hints ?
