I believe you should disable auto-boot?.  By having boot-command set, it
already starts booting, I think.  I use a bootmenu I snarfed somewhere
from the mail archives and modified a bit.  You can find it here
ftp://frohike.homeunix.org/other/bootmenu.4th

I don't understand most the code, but you might be able to find the
magic incantation that resets the screen here.

Peter
