mysterious offer of shell for 5 sec. at boot



During boot (2.4.18-k7) I see something about hit RET by 5 seconds for
shell.  So I did and there's this shell that you can't do much more
than "set" in.  After I typed exit the  kernel couldn't find root and
I had to hit the reset button.

So what is this "shell" for?  We are on the virtual disk phase still
here I suppose.

BTW, I notice that the first messages I see are tacked at the _bottom_
of the dmesg report.
