K2600 Boot Loader

The boot loader lets you install a new K2600 operating system and/or new K2600 ROM objects
from a SCSI device or the ßoppy drive into ßash ROM. The boot loader also provides hard reset
and diagnostics options.
Note: Your K2600 comes from the factory with the operating system and ROM objects already installed.
You do not need to run the K2600 boot loader to start up a new K2600.

Starting the Boot Loader

When you start the K2600, it displays a ÒPlease wait...Ó message and waits for approximately
two seconds. Press and release the Exit button while the ÒPlease wait...Ó message is displayed to
start the boot loader. Otherwise, the K2600 will start up normally.
The boot loaderÕs menus resemble K2600 dialog boxes. That is, they consist of a series of options
and a cursor that is used to select one of the options. You can use the cursor buttons to move the
cursor up, down, right, and left. Press the OK soft button to invoke the highlighted menu
option. You can also use the Alpha Wheel and Enter button to select options.
