   2 The boot: prompt waits ten seconds for you to type advanced startup options.
   3 If you don't type anything, the computer continues starting up normally: It
   4 uses the kernel and configuration files on the startup device, which it also
   5 uses as the root device.  Advanced startup options use the following syntax:
   6
   7     <<device>kernel> <arguments>
   8
   9 For example, to start up from:
  10   the first SCSI device, type: sd()mach_kernel
  11   the b partition of the second IDE disk, type: hd(1,b)mach_kernel
  12   the floppy disk but use the SCSI disk as the root device, type:
  13     fd()mach_kernel rootdev=sd0a
  14
  15 If the computer won't start up properly, you may be able to start it up using
  16 the drivers you used to install Rhapsody. Type: config=Default
  17
  18 To continue starting up using standard options, press Return.
