>Description:

When I type "?" at the boot: prompt, I'm unable to see the output, because
the boot help causes it to scroll off the top of the screen.

>How-To-Repeat:

At the boot: prompt, type "?" and hit return.

>Fix:
	
Don't repeat the boot help after a "?".  Either add a help option, so that
help can be requested explicitly, or build in a minimal pager if there's
room.
