the bootable CD-ROM will not boot directly, as it would do on any IA-32
architecture. These are the steps to follow for a SuSE SLES 8 installation:
1. Power on the server and immediately insert the first SuSE CD-ROM in the
drive.
Although it is not necessary to insert the CD at this point, it makes the
installation process easier because the CD-ROM file system is automatically
detected and mapped.
2. Wait for the EFI Boot Manager menu to appear (Figure 4-16).
3. Select the entry for the CD-ROM drive. In the x450, this is the ACPI entry with
the strings "PCI" and "ATA(Primary/Master)". Press Enter.
