Setting this option to pressed will automagically boot the first image when any of the modifier keys (shift,ctrl,alt) is held down.
Setting it to not_pressed (not pressed is ok too) will automatically make chos load the first image, unless you hold down one of the modifier keys (à la LILO), in which case it will display the menu.
THESE ARE OVERRIDDEN BY ONES GIVEN ON THE COMMANDLINE, IF ANY ARE...
name is the name of the image, i.e. the text shown in the bootup menu.
If the argument is 'yes', /dev/hda will be selected.
In other case, the argument is a block special device, whose
MBR is to be modified. It must be the whole device, not a partition.
Look
The default is "Choose-OS v0.8 BootUp Menu.".
I'm sure you wanna change it to a more interesting
one, such as "Whatcha wanna play today with ?",

At the moment it doesn't matter which one you use, bootsect or bootfile.
Common image options
Linux options
If no address is given, or address is 'top', the
ramdisk will be loaded on top of memory.
Address may also be a memory address >2M
(preferably>4M) ( 6M and 8M for bzImages).
You must have a 2.x kernel for this feature.
Bootsector options
THESE ARE ALL UNTESTED OR OTHERWISE DANGEROUS FEATURES.
<Key> is either a decimal number or a hexadecimal scancode.
This feature can be used to choose dos multiconfig menu option from
choose-os. Especially useful for choosing between windog95 and dos.
See example in ../samples/dosmenukey/.
If you start the image with space the keys are not
put into the buffer. May not work on some non-standard systems.

ON YOU HARDDISKS BEFORE TRYING THESE.
THESE ARE NOT COMPILED IN BY DEFAULT, SO YOU MUST RECOMPILE.
