Previously, my configuration under qemu did not include the line "SERIAL 0 115200". That's why I did not have the problem. Now I exactly use the same config file on physical an virtual machine, and I have the problem under qemu too. I tried (qemu only) with "SERIAL 0 9600" and "TIMEOUT 30", same problem. The last working version is 4.06. Thanks for your time, Romain

If I let it sit at the prompt (no input) for a while (over 30 seconds but not sure how much over but under 3 minutes) then hit any key on the serial terminal emulator, it immediately hits the timeout and executes DEFAULT. -- -Gene
