Dear oerg

I love your project so much, I suggested it to the YouTube channel
Philscomputerlab @.*> in which he
did a video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V1bE43nbHM but in Trunas in
their virtual machine. By the time you start it and log in to the virtual
console, the boot state has timed out so is there a boot file which can be
modified as when it gets to the point, boots from CD, press any key to run quick install, and it counts down in seconds. In the virtual
console, it has already timed out. A 60-countdown would be useful. So, can
you tell me what file and line I need to change?

yours thankfully

Anna

Hello,

I understand now, to change this behavior you need to rebuild the bootloader:

github.com/oerg866/w98qi-tiny-floppy-bootloader@c661539271/bflop.asm (L503)

The number in the string is the amount of seconds to load - unfortunately the way it is coded due to size constraints means that the range is "limited" from 0-9, however you can use a character with a higher ascii value. Since 0x30 ('0') is the lowest, really you can get a delay of up to 226 seconds
