At the SRM prompt (<prompt>&gt;&gt;&gt;</prompt>), issue the following command: <informalexample><screen>
&gt;&gt;&gt; boot dva0 -flags 0
</screen></informalexample> possibly replacing <filename>dva0</filename> with the actual device name. Usually, <filename>dva0</filename> is the floppy; type <informalexample><screen>
&gt;&gt;&gt; show dev
</screen></informalexample> to see the list of devices (e.g., if you want to boot from a CD). Note that if you are booting via MILO, <command>-flags</command> argument is ignored, so you can just type <command>boot dva0</command>. If everything works OK, you will eventually see the Linux kernel boot.

68.

If you want to specify kernel parameters when booting via <command>aboot</command>, use the following command: <informalexample><screen>
&gt;&gt;&gt; boot dva0 -file linux.bin.gz -flags "root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 arguments"
</screen></informalexample> (typed on one line), substituting, if necessary, the actual SRM boot device name for <filename>dva0</filename>, the Linux boot device name for <filename>fd0</filename>, and the desired kernel parameters for <filename>arguments</filename>.

69.

If you want to specify kernel parameters when booting via <command>MILO</command>, you will have to interrupt bootstrap once you get into MILO. See <xref linkend="booting-from-milo"/>.

Booting from Floppies with the ARC or AlphaBIOS Console

71.

In the OS Selection menu, set <command>linload.exe</command> as the boot loader, and <command>milo</command> as the OS Path. Bootstrap using the newly created entry.

Booting with MILO

73.

MILO contained on the bootstrap media is configured to proceed straight to Linux automatically. Should you wish to intervene, all you need is to press space during MILO countdown.

74.

If you want to specify all the bits explicitly (for example, to supply additional parameters), you can use a command like this: <informalexample><screen>
MILO> boot fd0:linux.bin.gz root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 <!-- arguments -->
</screen></informalexample> If you are booting from something other than a floppy, substitute <filename>fd0</filename> in the above example with the appropriate device name in Linux notation. The <command>help</command> command would give you a brief MILO command reference.

Booting from TFTP

76.

Booting from the network requires that you have a network connection and a TFTP network boot server (DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP).
