[Cialug] Alpha - aboot question

[dave at visionary.com]

This is the syntax you're talking about:

>>>boot dka0 -flags 0

but that only works once... (it bypasses the aboot menu, which is what I
want). The next time I reboot, it stops at the aboot menu again.

Is there a way to write that as the default?

-dc
