1.3 The Boot Screen
The boot screen has a number of menu items from which to select. ‘Boot
from Hard Disk’ boots the system already installed on the host (if any).
This item is selected by default, because the CD is often left in the drive.
To install the system, select ‘Installation’ with the arrow keys. This loads
YaST and starts the installation.
Figure 1.1: The Boot Screen
The menu items in the boot screen provide a number of options for starting
from the CD-ROM. They trigger the following actions:
Boot from Hard Disk Boots the system on the hard disk (the system nor-
mally booted when the machine is started). This option is preselected.
Installation The normal installation mode. All modern hardware functions
are enabled.
Installation — ACPI Disabled If the normal installation fails, this may
be due to the system hardware not supporting ACPI (Advanced Con-
figuration and Power Interface). If this seems to be the case, use this
option to install without ACPI support.
