Installation With Yast; Ibm Power: System Start-Up For Network Installation - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP2 - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION Installation Manual

Installation with YaST

After your hardware has been prepared for the installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise®
as described in the Architecture-Specific Information manual and after the connection
with the installation system has been established, you are presented with the interface
of SUSE Linux Enterprise's system assistant YaST. YaST guides you through the entire
installation and configuration procedure.
3.1 IBM POWER: System Start-Up for
Network Installation
For IBM POWER platforms, the system is initialized (IPL) as described in the Archi-
tecture-Specific Information manual. For a network installation, SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server does not show a splash screen or boot loader command line on these systems.
During the installation, load the kernel manually. YaST starts with its installation screen
as soon as a connection has been established to the installation system via VNC, X, or
SSH. Because there is no splash screen or boot loader command line, kernel or boot
parameters cannot be entered on screen, but must be included in the kernel image using
the mkzimage_cmdline utility. See the Preparation chapter in the Architecture-
Specific Information manual for a description.
TIP: IBM POWER: The Next Steps
To install, follow the description of the installation procedure with YaST starting
from Section 3.6, "Language" (page 24).
