&boot-installer-intro-hd.xml; In the Workbench, start the Linux installation process by double-clicking on the StartInstall icon in the debian directory. You may have to press the &enterkey; key twice after the Amiga installer program has output some debugging information into a window. After this, the screen will go grey, there will be a few seconds' delay. Next, a black screen with white text should come up, displaying all kinds of kernel debugging information. These messages may scroll by too fast for you to read, but that's OK. After a couple of seconds, the installation program should start automatically, so you can continue down at . At the GEM desktop, start the Linux installation process by double-clicking on the bootstra.prg icon in the debian directory and clicking Ok at the program options dialog box.

After this, the screen will go grey, there will be a few seconds' delay. Next, a black screen with white text should come up, displaying all kinds of kernel debugging information. These messages may scroll by too fast for you to read, but that's OK. After a couple of seconds, the installation program should start automatically, so you can continue below at . At the MacOS desktop, start the Linux installation process by double-clicking on the Penguin Prefs icon in the debian directory. The Penguin booter will start up. Go to the Settings item in the File menu, click the Kernel tab.

After a couple of seconds, the installation program should start automatically, so you can continue below at . &boot-installer-intro-cd.xml; Currently, the only &arch-title; subarchitecture that supports CD-ROM booting is the BVME6000. The easiest route In that case will be to use a set of Debian CDs. Simply insert your CD, reboot, and proceed to the next chapter. &boot-installer-intro-net.xml; After booting the VMEbus systems you will be presented with the LILO Boot: prompt. At that prompt enter one of the following to boot Linux and begin installation proper of the Debian software using vt102 terminal emulation: type i6000 &enterkey; to install a BVME4000/6000 type i162 &enterkey; to install an MVME162 type i167 &enterkey; to install an MVME166/167 You may additionally append the string TERM=vt100 to use vt100 terminal emulation, e.g., i6000 TERM=vt100 &enterkey;. For most m68k architectures, booting from a local filesystem is the recommended method. Booting from the boot floppy is supported only for Atari and VME (with a SCSI floppy drive on VME) at this time. In the case of Macintosh, you must retain the original Mac system and boot from it. It is essential that, when booting MacOS in preparation for booting the Penguin linux loader, you must hold the shift key down to prevent extensions from loading. If you don't use MacOS except for loading linux, you can accomplish the same thing by removing all extensions and control panels from the Mac's System Folder. Otherwise extensions may be left running and cause random problems with the running linux kernel. In the Penguin boot program, choose File -> Settings..., then switch to the Options tab. Boot parameters may be typed in to the text entry area. If you will always want to use these settings, select File -> Save Settings as Default.
