The system will autoboot after timing out at the Boot: prompt, as in
no ctl-D, no need to answer the asktime prompt (BTW, this times out
the same as the Boot: prompt).

If you don't want to wait the default 60 seconds, and want to zip past
this silliness, just change the line in /etc/default/boot that refers
to the autoboot time param (can't remember the label, it's obvious, though)

Your application can automatically start by placing a shell script in one
of the rc.d directories, not sure which here, but it's in the manual.

You also might want to remove the getty entries from the inittab file,
and probably have to fiddle about with the console login stuff.
