(We know this since we have asked <B CLASS="command" >BOOT_ADMIN</B > to boot on this device). But we wanted another kernel this time. We have pressed the <B CLASS="keycap" >Enter</B > key (to validate the default choice '<TT CLASS="computeroutput" >0</TT >') and modified the text to match our needs, here <TT CLASS="filename" >vmlinux-2.4.17-pa3</TT >. We have also added an <TT CLASS="computeroutput" >initrd=0/root.bin</TT > argument to the command line. We have validated our changes by hitting the <B CLASS="keycap" >Enter</B > key. Finally we have decided that we didn't want this additional argument, so we have selected it and erased it. At the end it asked again which field we wanted to edit, we just typed '<TT CLASS="computeroutput" >b</TT >' instead of any number and hit <B CLASS="keycap" >Enter</B > to boot our new kernel. </P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="oldpalo.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="contributors.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >Older <B CLASS="command" >PALO</B > dumps</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="oldpalo.html" ACCESSKEY="U" >Up</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >HOWTO contributors</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
