Startup delay not working

[gjb]

Can someone tell me what is wrong with the following boot.ini file. There is
only one operating system installed, and I want to delay the startup on
reboot but it is rebooting the default immediately.

Thanks,

G.

[boot loader]
timeout=240
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced
Server" /fastdetect /3GB

If you install the recovery console,
\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons
