20 You may have to press the &enterkey; key twice after the Amiga
21 installer program has output some debugging information into a window.
22 After this, the screen will go grey, there will be a few seconds'
23 delay. Next, a black screen with white text should come up, displaying
24 all kinds of kernel debugging information. These messages may scroll
25 by too fast for you to read, but that's OK. After a couple of
26 seconds, the installation program should start automatically, so you
27 can continue down at <xref linkend="init-config"/>.

96 Currently, the only &arch-title; subarchitecture that
97 supports CD-ROM booting is the BVME6000. The easiest route In that
98 case will be to use a
99 <ulink url="&url-debian-cd-vendors;">set of Debian CDs</ulink>.
100 Simply insert your CD, reboot, and proceed to the next chapter.

112 After booting the VMEbus systems you will be presented with the LILO
113 <prompt>Boot:</prompt> prompt. At that prompt enter one of the
114 following to boot Linux and begin installation proper of the Debian
115 software using vt102 terminal emulation:
116
117 <!-- Because the &enterkey; definition uses <keycap>, -->
118 <!-- we use <screen> instead of <userinput> in this list -->

140 You may additionally append the string

142 e.g., <screen>i6000 TERM=vt100 &enterkey;</screen>.

151
152 For most m68k architectures, booting from a local filesystem is the
153 recommended method.

156
157 Booting from the boot floppy is supported only for Atari and VME
158 (with a SCSI floppy drive on VME) at this time.

165 <para>
166
167 In the case of Macintosh, you must retain the original Mac system and
168 boot from it. It is <emphasis>essential</emphasis> that, when booting
169 MacOS in preparation for booting the Penguin linux loader, you must
170 hold the <keycap>shift</keycap> key down to prevent extensions from
171 loading. If you
172 don't use MacOS except for loading linux, you can accomplish the same
173 thing by removing all extensions and control panels from the Mac's
174 System Folder. Otherwise extensions may be left running and cause
175 random problems with the running linux kernel.

185 <guimenuitem>Settings...</guimenuitem>, then switch to the
186 <guilabel>Options</guilabel> tab. Boot parameters may be typed in to
187 the text entry area. If you will always want to use these settings,
188 select <guimenu>File</guimenu> -&gt; <guimenuitem>Save Settings as
189 Default</guimenuitem>.
