DSS V6 - Booting via DOM

I have a question about the software-installation-procedure of DSS6.

I read the manual and noticed that it is possible to boot via a DOM medium. That worked properly and i can choose the software and i've been able to deside between 32 and 64bit versions.
Now i want to figure out, if it’s possible to automate this procedure. I know that the menu follow up after a few seconds, if theres no input by the keyboard.

But im interested in to automate this procedure and that there are no more menus to choose. Specially the menu where you can deside between the 32 and 64bit version.
So, in future i only want to boot from the DOM without any input for the menus.

Is there any way to make this happen? :)

well, i called the support and i figured out, that theres no solution for my problem.

except that, i want to know if anyone in this forum knows, if theres a way to change the time for the Menus.

The standard is 5 secs., so is there a way to change that to for example 2secs?

from console or cli login.

1) enter console tools menu.
control + alt + t
2) enter boot options menu.
select option 9 (boot options)
3) Select system architecture
option 0 allows you to select your default system architecture
(X) 1 32bit system (2.6.27)
( ) 2 64bit system (2.6.27)

I have never seen an option for the timer, but you can edit the boot loader config files directly and change the time.

thx,
i know that i can change the Bootoptions in the console. Ive already done that properly. Thx anyway! :)

But im interested in to automate this procedure without seeing these menues. So that no one has the chance to choose the system architecture.

any way to do this? Maybe by editing the boot loader too?

ok, another question, which file is the correct one to change the time for the boot menu?

try boot\syslinux.cfg
It doesn't have a md5 hash so it should be fine to directly edit it without tripping on the electric fence.
