<title>Installing PALO</title>
<body>

<p>
On the PA-RISC platform, the boot loader is called palo. You can find
the configuration file in <path>/etc/palo.conf</path>. Here is a sample 
configuration:
</p>

<pre caption = "/etc/palo.conf example">
--commandline=2/vmlinux root=/dev/sdb2 HOME=/
--recoverykernel=/vmlinux.old
--init-partitioned=/dev/sdb
</pre>

<p>
The first line tells palo the location of the kernel and which boot
parameters it must use. <c>2/vmlinux</c> means the kernel named <c>/vmlinux</c>
resides on the second partition. Beware, the path to the kernel is
relative to the partition, not to the root of your filesystem.
</p>

<p>
The second line indicates which recovery kernel to use. If it is your
first install and you do not have a recovery kernel, please comment this
out. The third line indicates on which disk palo will reside. 
</p>

<p>
When configuration is done, just run <c>palo</c>.
</p>

<pre caption = "Applying the PALO configuration">
# <i>palo</i>
</pre>

<p>
Now continue with <uri link="?part=1&amp;chap=10">Installing Necessary System
Tools</uri>.
