4.4 Booting the Target System for
Installation
Basically, there are two different ways to customize the boot process for installation
apart from those mentioned under
Section 4.3.7, “Wake on LAN” (page 71) and Sec-
tion 4.3.3, “Using PXE Boot” (page 66). You can either use the default boot options
and function keys or use the boot options prompt of the installation boot screen to pass
any boot options that the installation kernel might need on this particular hardware.
