Description Joe Kallar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-06 17:53:29 UTC
I spent a few minutes rebooting a few times wondering why I kept starting with
the default BootX kernel. I would suggest something along the following to be
included in the docs, after the YaBoot section, or create a separate
section/step for BootX:

BootX users enter the BootX control panel, select Options, and uncheck the "Used
specified RAM disk." When you return to the BootX main screen, you will now find
an option to specify you root disk and partition. Specify the partition to use
your new Gentoo linux installation.
