The man page for boot(8) explains it.
You don't have to hit enter at the boot> prompt. It pauses for a few seconds to allow you a chance to enter boot commands; you can hit enter to boot immediately, or it will proceed with a default boot after a few seconds if you do nothing.
- milcron 9y agoAh, I think you're right. In my specific case the default "did nothing" because TTY settings were improperly configured. I actually needed the boot menu to be there.
