RE: Press L1-A to return to the boot prom
Title: Message Hi Frederic, That is the "stop" key (left hand side of the keyboard on the 5c) and the "a" key. If you do this when the box is initialising you will get the PROM prompt "ok" and if you do it when you see SILO, you will be at the "boot" prompt. The "ok" prompt allows you to do some system checking and change your boot options, floppy, cd, net etc and the "boot" prompt allows you to specify which specific kernel you want to boot from. I am sure there are other more experienced members on the list who can you better details of what you can/can't do from these prompts. Are you getting this on a kernel upgrade? If so, you may have to change your symlinks to read full paths /boot/vmlinuz-whatever rather than just boot/vmlinuz-whatever.

Most type 4 keyboards had both L1 and Stop on the key. The message should be fixed to say Stop-A. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
