Command: menudefault

  MENUDEFAULT sets a time delayed default option for a config.sys /
  fdconfig.sys menu.
  MENUDEFAULT is a CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS command.

Syntax:

  menudefault=defaultoption,delay

Options:

  delay          delay time in seconds
  defaultoption  used standard option if delay time is over

Comments:

  MENUDEFAULT sets a time delayed default option for a config.sys /
  fdconfig.sys menu: If no key has been pressed during 'delay' seconds,
  the default choice is activated. Pressing a key stops the countdown,
  the kernel will wait infinitely for the user to make a selection. Note
  that some virtual machines like Bochs can have broken (too fast) timing.
  MENUDEFAULT is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file
  in order to work.

Examples:

  IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS:
    menucolor 15,1
    MENU Choose wisely:
    MENU
    MENU 0)    normal driver (himem and emm386)
    MENU 1)    alternative driver (himemx and jemm386)
    MENUDEFAULT=0,5
    0?DEVICE=A:\himem.exe
    1?DEVICE=A:\himemx.exe
    0?DEVICE=A:\emm386.exe
    1?DEVICE=A:\jemm386.exe
  The menu will wait 5 seconds. If no key is pressed in this time, 
  option 0 is selected automatically. Menucolor 15,1 changes the 
  colour to white text on blue background.
    0 chooses himem.exe and emm386.exe, 
    1 chooses himem.exe and jemm386.exe
