what lilo prompt?  not the login, certainly ... i don't get a prompt
when booting up, though.  how can i change this, or is there a way to
break the sequence and give me a prompt?  normally i'd just play
around with it, but i hate bringing the whole system down cold over
and over just to play around.

thanks again,
