Nobody has answered my original question.
Is there a way to temporarily suspend the boot up process?
Yes and no. The messages you get when the kernel loads may not be stoppable. After init is started, it first runs the /sbin/init.d/boot script. See if you can edit it and add pauses or something. init also runs the scripts in /sbin/init.d according to the run level you set up. If you don't know what init is or does then you should look at documentaion on how linux is booted before messing with it.
How about booting lilo with "init=/bin/sh" That will stop the boot process right before init starts. Then manually start the real init. At least it will give you a stop point. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
