Hi
Frederic,
That
is the "stop" key (left hand side of the keyboard on the 5c) and the "a"
key.
If you
do this when the box is initialising you will get the PROM prompt "ok" and if
you do it when you see SILO, you will be at the "boot"
prompt.
The
"ok" prompt allows you to do some system checking and change your boot options,
floppy, cd, net etc and the "boot" prompt allows you to specify which specific
kernel you want to boot from. I am sure there are other more experienced
members on the list who can you better details of what you can/can't do from
these prompts.
Are
you getting this on a kernel upgrade? If so, you may have to change your
symlinks to read full paths /boot/vmlinuz-whatever rather than just
boot/vmlinuz-whatever.
Cheers,
Steve
