sorry, I thought I thought I had being clear enougth.
the prompt only appears if you have defined "*uservars=" in
plan9.ini.
so, when booting after you selected a menu entry (if there is one)
what you see is this:
key=value - set key to value
h - print help message
p - print variable table
q - quit prompt
set var:
after entering ´q´ and hitting return, the boot process continues as usually.
