6. Check to make sure you’ve selected the right file, then press OK. This begins the actual
installation of the file. The display indicates that the K2600 is checking the file; again, it
shows the selected file and selected drive. A “thermometer” bar appears on the top line of
the display, indicating the progress of the installation. After a short while, the display
indicates that the K2600 is installing the selected file. The installation takes a few minutes.
7. When the installation of Part A is finished, the display returns to the main Boot Loader
page, with the Run|System option selected. Use the Alpha Wheel to select
Install|System again (for Part B), and press OK.
8. If you’re installing from floppy disks, eject the Part A diskette from the floppy drive, and
insert the diskette containing Part B of the operating system (K26VnnnB.KOS), then press
OK. If you’re installing from a hard disk, just press OK.
9. Select the Part B file (K26VnnnB.KOS), and press OK. The confirmation page appears.
10. Check that you’ve selected the right file, press OK, and wait for the main Boot Loader
page to reappear (this takes a bit less time than the installation of Part A). When the main
Boot Loader page reappears, you’re ready to begin installing the object files.
11. Select the Install|Objects option, and press OK. The Drive Selection page appears
(as shown in Step 3 on page 9).
12. If you’re going to install objects from floppy disks, insert the disk containing the K2600’s
base objects into the floppy drive. If necessary, use the Alpha Wheel to select floppy, then
press OK.
If you’re going to install from a hard disk, select the SCSI ID of the disk from which you’re
going to install, then press OK. In either case, the File Selection page appears. It’s similar
to the File Selection page shown in Step 4 on page 10, with one difference: when you’re
installing objects, the second line of this page shows the amount of ROM available for the
installation of additional objects.
Remember, you must install the base-objects file before you install any of the object files for the
ROM options (and the object file for Live mode, if you have the sampling feature).
13. Select the base-objects file (OBJKBnnn.K26). If you’re installing from a hard disk, you may
need to use the Parent or Root soft button to navigate to the directory where the file is
stored. If you need to select a different drive, press the NewDrv soft button, which returns
you to the Drive Selection page.
When you’ve selected the base-objects file, press OK. This displays a confirmation page,
which states that the K2600 is ready to install the selected file (including pathname) from
the selected drive.
14. Check to make sure you’ve selected the right file, then press OK. This begins the actual
installation of the file. The display indicates that the K2600 is checking the file; again, it
shows the selected file and selected drive. A “thermometer” bar appears on the top line of
the display, indicating the progress of the installation. After a short while, the display
indicates that the K2600 is installing the selected file. The installation takes a few minutes.
When it’s finished, the Drive Selection page reappears.
15. If you’re installing from floppy disks, insert the next disk, then press OK. If you’re
installing from a hard disk, select the SCSI ID of the hard disk, then press OK. In either
case, the File Selection page appears.
16. Select the next object file to install, then press OK. Again, we recommend that you use the
file list in Table 1 to keep track of the files you’ve installed.
