Welcome to 09Slamd6407 version 12.0 (Linux kernel 2.6.22.8)! If you need to pass extra parameters to the kernel, enter them at the prompt below after the name of the kernel to boot (huge.s etc). Unlike Slackware, huge.s is an SMP-aware kernel. In a pinch, you can boot your system from here with a command like: boot: huge.s root=/dev/hda1 rdinit= ro In the example above, /dev/hda1 is the / Linux partition. This prompt is just for entering extra parameters. If you don't need to enter any parameters, hit ENTER to boot the default kernel "huge.s" or press [F2] for a listing of more kernel choices.
