You can test the results of disabling the NetMAX Splash Screen on a per boot basis by typing the following at the linux boot: prompt

linux nosplash

If you want/need to permanently disable the Splash Screen follow the instructions below.

Note: If you make a mistake editing the rc.sysinit file your NetMAX MAY NOT BOOT. Double check your changes before you reboot the NetMAX.

  1. From the command line: As root edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file as shown below.

  2. Or From the NetMAX Interface Home | Personal | Files Management Click on root. Click on the paging control pull down menu (upper left) and select Show All. Click on etc. Click on rc.d. Click on rc.sysinit. Approximately four screens down in the file edit the following lines as shown below.

Originally:

if [ -n "$SPLASH" ]; then
  /usr/netmax/bin/splash -l -t 300 &
fi

Change To:

#if [ -n "$SPLASH" ]; then
#  /usr/netmax/bin/splash -l -t 300 &
#fi

Saves Changes and Reboot the NetMAX.
