A-2
K2600 Boot Loader
Install System / Install Objects
to install ROM objects into Flash ROM. After either option is invoked, a dialog box such as the
following will be displayed.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||Device|to|install|from:||floppy||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||SCSI|ID|of|this|unit:||N/A|||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||Cancel|||OK|
From this dialog box, you can select which device contains the system or ROM-objects Þle. You
can use the Alpha Wheel, the
Plus/Minus
buttons, or the cursor buttons the same way you can
in normal operating modes. If you choose to install from a SCSI device, the SCSI ID of this unit
will change from
N/A
to
SCSI 6
. If there is another device on your SCSI bus with an ID of 6, you
will need to change the SCSI ID of this unit to a free SCSI ID. At this point you can continue by
pressing
OK
, or abort the operation by pressing
Cancel
. Canceling the operation returns you to
the boot loader menu, with the Run System option selected. Use this option to return to normal
operation.
When you select an option and press
OK
, the K2600 tries to access the speciÞed drive and scan it
for Þles. If it is successful, the following display appears:
|||||||||||||||||||||||FILE1.KOS|||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||DIR1||||<DIR>|||
|||||||||||||||||||||||FILE1.K26|||||||
|||||File|to|Install:||
FILE2.K26|||||||

While this page is displayed, you can use the
Up
and
Down
cursor buttons, the Alpha Wheel, or
the
Plus/Minus
buttons to highlight different items in the Þle list. Names that have
<DIR>
displayed to their right are directories. If the disk has a volume label, it will be displayed in the
list, marked with
<VOL>
. Operating system Þles typically have a
.KOS
extension, while ROM
object Þles have a
.KRZ
or
.K26
extension. If youÕre loading a new operating system, be sure to
load both Þles: thereÕs an A Þle and a B Þle, both of which must be loaded. Typically, youÕll load
the A Þle Þrst, although the order isnÕt signiÞcant.
The
OK
soft button selects the highlighted Þle for loading, or changes to the highlighted
directory. The
Cancel
button aborts the installation and returns to the menu.
Parent
changes to
the current directoryÕs parent directory, while
Root
changes to the diskÕs root directory. The
NewDrv
button returns to the previous page, allowing you to choose a different drive from
which to install.
After you select a Þle by pressing the
OK
button, you will be asked to conÞrm the installation.
The K2600 will display a message of the form
Ready to install operating system from
Þlename
on
device
or
Ready to install ROM objects from
Þlename
on
device
.
When it displays this
message, it will Þll in
Þlename
and
device
with the name of the Þle and device you have selected.
To confirm that you want to proceed, press the
OK
soft-button. If you do so, you will not be able
to interrupt the installation. Alternatively, the
Cancel
button will return you to the menu, or the
Choose
button will allow you to select a different device or Þle from which to install.
