Looking at your config I'd say just changing the timeout=50 to timeout=0 would be sufficient.<br><br>

<div>Thanks for the pointer. My current yaboot.conf file has no defaultos= line, so I guess I just add it? Question is where, or does it matter...</div>

<div>Morning Gents,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Looking forward to tonight. David, for yaboot you'll need to edit /etc/yaboot.conf and change the defaultos= line to the ubuntu option. Then set the timeout=0 to make it boot that immediately.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>After making the changes to the file run ybin to apply.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>See you all later,</div>
