Installing PALO
On the PA-RISC platform, the boot loader is called palo. First install the software on the system:

The configuration is called. Below is a sample configuration:

The first line tells palo the location of the kernel and which boot parameters it must use. The string  means the kernel named /kernel- resides on the second partition. Beware, the path to the kernel is relative to the boot partition, not to the root partition.

The second line indicates which recovery kernel to use. If it is the first install and there is no recovery kernel (yet), please comment this out. The third line indicates on which disk palo will reside.

When configuration is done, just run palo.
