6 <para>
7
8 Some &arch-title; subarchs have the option of booting using either a
9 2.4.x or 2.2.x linux kernel. When such a choice exists, try the 2.4.x
10 linux kernel. The installer should also require less memory when using
11 a 2.4.x linux kernel as 2.2.x support requires a fixed-sized ramdisk
12 and 2.4.x uses tmpfs.
13
14 </para><para>
15
16 If you are using a 2.2.x linux kernel, then you must make sure you
17 are using a ramdisk built to accommodate it, see the <ulink url="&disturl;/main/installer-&architecture;/current/images/MANIFEST">MANIFEST</ulink>. You will
18 also need to use the &ramdisksize; kernel parameter. In general, this
19 means you need to use the initrd22.gz ramdisk from the respective
20 directory.
21
22 </para><para>
23
24 Make sure <userinput>root=/dev/ram</userinput> is one of your kernel
25 parameters.

134
135 At least six different ramdisks may be used to boot from the hard
136 drive, three different types each with and without support for a
137 2.2.x linux kernel (see
138 <ulink url="&disturl;/main/installer-&architecture;/current/images/MANIFEST">MANIFEST</ulink>
139 for details).
140
141 </para><para>
142
143 The three different types of ramdisks are <filename>cdrom</filename>,
144 <filename>hd-media</filename>, and <filename>nativehd</filename>. These
145 ramdisks differ only in their source for installation packages.
146 The <filename>cdrom</filename> ramdisk uses a cdrom to get
147 debian-installer packages. The <filename>hd-media</filename> ramdisk
148 uses an iso image file of a cdrom currently residing on a hard disk.
149 Finally, the <filename>nativehd</filename> ramdisk uses the net to
150 install packages.

171 You may have to press the &enterkey; key twice after the Amiga
172 installer program has output some debugging information into a window.
173 After this, the screen will go grey, there will be a few seconds'
174 delay. Next, a black screen with white text should come up, displaying
175 all kinds of kernel debugging information. These messages may scroll
176 by too fast for you to read, but that's OK. After a couple of
177 seconds, the installation program should start automatically, so you
178 can continue down at <xref linkend="d-i-intro"/>.

210 You must retain the original Mac system and
211 boot from it. It is <emphasis>essential</emphasis> that, when booting
212 MacOS in preparation for booting the Penguin linux loader, you
213 hold the <keycap>shift</keycap> key down to prevent extensions from
214 loading. If you don't use MacOS except for loading linux, you can
215 accomplish the same thing by removing all extensions and control
216 panels from the Mac's System Folder. Otherwise extensions may be left
217 running and cause random problems with the running linux kernel.

221 Macs require the <command>Penguin</command>
222 bootloader. If you do not have the tools to handle
223 a <command>Stuffit</command> archive, &penguin19.hfs; is an
224 hfs disk image with <command>Penguin</command> unpacked.

226 image to a floppy.

230 At the MacOS desktop, start the Linux installation process by
231 double-clicking on the <guiicon>Penguin Prefs</guiicon> icon in
232 the <filename>Penguin</filename> directory. The
233 <command>Penguin</command> booter will start up. Go to the
234 <guimenuitem>Settings</guimenuitem> item in the
235 <guimenu>File</guimenu> menu, click the
236 <guilabel>Kernel</guilabel> tab. Select the kernel
237 (<filename>vmlinuz</filename>) and ramdisk
238 (<filename>initrd.gz</filename>) images in the
239 <filename>install</filename> directory by clicking on the corresponding
240 buttons in the upper right corner, and navigating the file select

248 the text entry area. If you will always want to use these settings,
