+This option can be used to complete the installation even when no boot
+loader is to be installed, either because the arch/subarch doesn't
+provide one, or because none is desired (e.g. you will use existing
+boot loader). <phrase arch="m68k">This option is especially useful for
+Macintosh, Atari, and Amiga systems, where the original operating system
+must be maintained on the box and used to boot GNU/Linux.</phrase>

+
+If you plan to manually configure your bootloader, you should check the
+name of the installed kernel in <filename>/target/boot</filename>.
+You should also check that directory for the presence of an
+<firstterm>initrd</firstterm>; if one is present, you will probably have
+to instruct your bootloader to use it. Other information you will need
+are the disk and partition you selected for your <filename>/</filename>
+filesystem and, if you chose to install <filename>/boot</filename> on a
+separate partition, also your <filename>/boot</filename> filesystem.
