>&#13; Booting from CD is one of the easiest way to start and
install your PA-RISC machine; assuming you have a CD drive
handy and a bootable CD. You can download official Debian
ISOs as well as <EM
>Net Install</EM
> ISO
(see <A
HREF="gloss.html#glossnetinst"
><I
CLASS="glossterm"
>netinst</I
></A
>) from the
<A
HREF="http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/"
TARGET="_top"
>Debian Installer pages</A
>,
or from the <A
HREF="ftp://www.parisc-linux.org/cd-images/"
TARGET="_top"
>PA-RISC/Linux official website</A
>.

>&#13; Place your bootable CD on the CD tray and close it.
Sounds obvious, but we know guys who missed that step :)
</P

><LI
><P
>&#13; There are two options from there: either you know the
full <TT
CLASS="literal"
>PATH</TT
> to your CD device,
then you can jump to next step, or you don't.
In this last case, issue a <B
CLASS="command"
>search ipl</B
>
to list all available bootable devices.
You can also specify
<B
CLASS="command"
>search <TT
CLASS="replaceable"
><I
>[PATH]</I
></TT
></B
>,
which is fastest.
For instance if you want to search the SCSI bus:
</P

CLASS="programlisting"
>search SCSI</PRE
></FONT
></TD
></TR
></TABLE
><P
>&#13; On recent boxes, <B
CLASS="command"
>search disk</B
> is quite helpful.
Take a look at <B
CLASS="command"
>help search</B
> for details specific to your box.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>&#13; Once you know the full <TT
CLASS="literal"
>PATH</TT
> to your CD drive,
you can issue a <B
CLASS="command"
>boot <TT
CLASS="replaceable"
><I
>&#60;PATH&#62;</I
></TT
></B
>.
That's all. If everything goes fine, it will start booting the CD present
in the CD reader. Real life example:
