--Yes, but you can really only do this by editing the syslinux.cfg file on the boot floppy. Put that in with the other kernel parms.

Thanks for any help.

--I don't understand what you're asking. If you do what I said above, it should work.

TIMEOUT 1
In the DEFAULT section I added home=scan myconf=scan noprompt noeject
Then I changed TIMEOUT 300 to TIMEOUT 1.
Now when I insert my startup diskette and turn the power on, the system starts right away.
You can put your cheat codes into a custom boot floppy or cd as described on this page:
