Re: "1FA:" prompt at boot

[bruce@pixar.com (Bruce Perens)]

It's saying that it sees that partition 1 on the first hard disk is
bootable, and it is offering you the option to boot partition 1, the
Floppy, or to go into Advanced mode. Advanced mode offers you the choice
of booting any partition on the first disk.

Generally you'll see this prompt if you hold down shift while booting.

You can press 1 through 4, or F for the floppy, or A.

It's poorly documented and it needs to be replaced with something less
cryptic - all of the alternatives for boot manager are in some way
lacking at the moment.

	Thanks

	Bruce
