Semi-automate RIS logon?

I can successfully populate the Username field in the RIS logon screen
by editing login.osc. However, the cursor still sits at the same line,
so when the installer starts to type, whatever's there is overwritten.
Does anyone know how to force the cursor to the line below so that the
installer just has to type the password?
 
Not the most elegant solution, but if you switch the password and
username rows in login.osc, password will be the first that is
displayed and set focus on.

Example Login.osc

<OSCML>
<TITLE> Client Installation Wizard
Logon</TITLE>
<FOOTER> [ENTER] continue [ESC] clear [F1] help [F3]
restart computer</FOOTER>
<META KEY=F3 ACTION="REBOOT">
<META KEY=F1 HREF="LOGINHLP">
<META KEY=ESC HREF="LOGIN">
<META ACTION="LOGIN">
<BODY left=5 right=75>

Type a valid user name, password, and domain name. You may use the
Internet-style logon
format (for example: (e-mail address removed)).
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<FORM ACTION="CHOICE">
&nbsp&nbsp&nbspPassword: <INPUT NAME="*PASSWORD" TYPE=PASSWORD
MAXLENGTH=20><BR>
&nbsp&nbspUser name: <INPUT NAME="USERNAME" MAXLENGTH=255
VALUE="BuildAccount">
Domain name: <INPUT NAME="USERDOMAIN" VALUE=%SERVERDOMAIN%
MAXLENGTH=255>
<INPUT NAME="NTLMV2Enabled" VALUE=%NTLMV2Enabled% MAXLENGTH=255
type=VARIABLE>
<INPUT NAME="ServerUTCFileTime" VALUE=%ServerUTCFileTime%
MAXLENGTH=255 type=VARIABLE>
</FORM>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Press the TAB key to move between the User name, Password, and Domain
name fields.
<BR>
<BR>
You are connected to %SERVERNAME%
</BODY>
</OSCML>
