I am installing my first SCO Unix system and I have a couple of questions.
All have to do with the boot process.  I've searched thru the rc2.d files
and not found the answers so here goes to the net:

	1. during boot the OS stops at the boot prompt waiting for a <CR>
		or name of an alt-kernal.  How can i set it so it only 
		pauses for x seconds then moves on?

	2. next I have to cntrl-d or enter the root password to continue
		the boot, how do I set it to just go to multi-user mode
		automatically?

	3. there are prompts to enter the system time as well as check
		a subsystem database, how do you get rid of those?

	4. can the reboot command be given by a remote terminal (say
		attatched via modem) and will that terminal be able to
		control the boot process?  I will need to do some 
		administration of this machine via a modem and need to
		know the limits of control I'll have.

That's it for now.  I appreciate any help sent my way.  Please send
e-mail to save $$$ bandwidth and my apologies if these are FAQ.
