Using the Boot Manager
The Nokia 500s appliance incorporates a boot manager to control the boot-up
process. The boot manager allows you to perform a number of tasks,
including:
Booting from alternate kernels, which might reside on nondefault devices
or directories
Installing new versions of Nokia IPSO (the operating system)
Obtaining system information
Performing various housekeeping tasks
These tasks and the boot manager commands are discussed in the following
sections:
Using the Boot Manager to Install Nokia IPSO
Protecting the Boot Manager with a Password
When you first receive your Nokia 500s appliance, the boot manager uses
factory-default parameters (such as kernel, and boot device) for the boot
process. The factory defaults cause the appliance to bypass the boot manager
prompt after a three-second wait. You can change these defaults to reflect
your own needs, or you can use different parameters in the command line at
boot time. The boot manager maintains the default values of these parameters
