After building a boot floppy the only thing left to do for a base install is Reboot The System. The new system can be booted from the hard disk (assuming that LILO installed correctly) or using the new boot floppy. The DOS partition, if there is one, can be rebooted now and a loadlin installation can be set up if that is the desired boot path. No matter which method will be used, the final step in the base installation is ``Reboot The System''!
Stage One Installation is now complete. Stage Two Installation begins on the next reboot of your newly installed base system. Be sure to remove the CD that you used to install the base system, as you do not wish to reboot from the CD at this time.
Dwarf wishes to point out that you can, indeed, use the CD to boot your new system, assuming that your hardware will boot the CD. When you get the boot: prompt, enter linux /dev/<root partition> where <root partition> is the device where the root file system resides. So, if you set root as hda3 then the command would be:
linux /dev/hda3
This is a useful method for rebooting your system when the kernel is broken. You can also do a normal boot and use the installation system to recover from a more broken system, so this is a good recovery method. However, at this stage we are hoping our newly installed LILO boot process is going to work, so remove the CD before rebooting for Stage Two.
