Startup
K2500 Boot Loader
an ID of 6, you will need to change the SCSI ID of this unit to a free SCSI ID. At this point you
can continue by hitting the OK soft-button or abort the operation by pressing the one labeled
Cancel. Canceling the operation will return you to the Boot Loader menu, and the "Run
System" option will be highlighted.
When you press OK, the K2500 will try to access the drive in question and scan it for files. If it
is successful, a screen such as the following will then appear:
|||||||||||||||||||||||FILE1.KOS|||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||DIR1||||<DIR>|||
|||||||||||||||||||||||FILE1.K25|||||||
|||||File|to|Install:||FILE1.KRZ|||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||VLABEL|||<VOL>||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||NewDrv|Root|Parent||Cancel|||OK|
While this screen is displayed, you can use the up and down cursor keys, the alpha wheel, or
the + and - keys to highlight different items in the file list. Names that have "<DIR>" displayed
to their right are sub-directories. If the disk has a volume label, it will be displayed in the list,
marked with "<VOL>." Operating system files typically have a ".KOS" extension, while ROM
object files have a ".KRZ" extension. The OK soft-button selects the highlighted file for loading,
or changes to the highlighted directory. The Cancel button aborts the installation and returns
to the menu. Parent changes to the current directory's parent directory, while Root changes to
the disk's root directory. The NewDrv button returns to the previous screen, allowing you to
choose a different drive from which to install.
After you select a file by pressing the OK button, you will be asked to confirm the installation.
The K2500 will display a message of the form "Ready to install operating system from filename
on device" or "Ready to install ROM objects from filename on device." When it displays this
message, it will fill in filename and device with the name of the file and device you have selected.
To confirm that you want to proceed, press the OK soft-button. If you do so, you will not be
able to interrupt the installation. Alternatively, the Cancel button will return you to the menu,
or the Choose button will allow you to select a different device or file from which to install.
While the K2500 is installing the file into Flash ROM, the top line of the display will gradually
fill to indicate the progress of the operation. Note that operating system files and ROM object
files are of different formats. If you try to install a file using the incorrect menu option, the
K2500 will think the file is corrupt and will refuse to install it into Flash ROM. If this happens,
simply choose the correct menu option from the Boot Loader's main menu, and repeat the
installation.
If there is a problem accessing the drive or installing the file, an error message will be
displayed. At this point, you can (1) abort the operation with the Abort soft button and return
to the menu, (2) press the Retry button to try the operation again, or (3) choose another device
or file by pressing the Choose button.
Run System
The "Run System" option executes the engine software. When this option is invoked, the
operating system and ROM setups are checked for integrity. If either does not appear to be
installed, a message will be displayed explaining this. If this happens, you can (1) double press
the Run Anyhow soft buttons and be given a chance to try to run the system anyhow, knowing
that the machine might crash, (2) install the uninstalled portion with the Instal button, or (3)
return to the menu by using the Menu button. If you do the latter, the menu will be displayed
with the "Load System" or "Load Setups" option highlighted as appropriate.
