-BIOS provides the basic functions needed to boot your machine to allow
-your operating system to access your hardware. Your system probably
-provides a BIOS set-up menu, which is used to configure the BIOS.
-Before installing, you <emphasis>must</emphasis> ensure that your BIOS
-is setup correctly; not doing so can lead to intermittent crashes or
-an inability to install Debian.

-Some &arch-title; machines don't have a CMOS configuration menu in the
-BIOS. They require a software CMOS setup program. If you don't have

-
-<para>
-
-Many BIOS set-up menus allow you to select the devices that will be
-used to bootstrap the system. Set this to look for a bootable
-operating system on <filename>A:</filename> (the first floppy disk),
-then optionally the first CD-ROM device (possibly appearing as
-<filename>D:</filename> or <filename>E:</filename>), and then from
-<filename>C:</filename> (the first hard disk). This setting enables
-you to boot from either a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, which are the two
-most common boot devices used to install Debian.
-
-</para><para>
-
-If you have a newer SCSI controller and you have a CD-ROM device
-attached to it, you are usually able to boot from the CD-ROM. All you
-have to do is enable booting from a CD-ROM in the SCSI-BIOS of your
-controller.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Another popular option is to boot from a USB storage device (also called
-a USB memory stick or USB key). Some BIOSes can boot directly from a USB
-storage device, but some cannot. You may need to configure your BIOS to boot
-from a <quote>Removable drive</quote> or even from <quote>USB-ZIP</quote> to
-get it to boot from the USB device.
-

-
-Here are some details about how to set the boot order. Remember to
-reset the boot order after Linux is installed, so that you restart
-your machine from the hard drive.

-Some BIOS systems (such as Award BIOS) allow you to automatically set
-the CD speed. You should avoid that, and instead set it to, say, the
-lowest speed. If you get <userinput>seek failed</userinput> error

- <sect3><title>Extended vs. Expanded Memory</title>
-<para>
-
-If your system provides both ex<emphasis>ten</emphasis>ded and
-ex<emphasis>pan</emphasis>ded memory, set it so that there is as much
-extended and as little expanded memory as possible. Linux requires
-extended memory and cannot use expanded memory.

- <sect3><title>Virus Protection</title>
-<para>
-
-Disable any virus-warning features your BIOS may provide. If you have
-a virus-protection board or other special hardware, make sure it is
-disabled or physically removed while running GNU/Linux. These aren't
-compatible with GNU/Linux; moreover, due to the file system
-permissions and protected memory of the Linux kernel, viruses are
-almost unheard of<footnote>
-<para>
-
-After installation you can enable Boot Sector protection if you
-want. This offers no additional security in Linux but if you also run
-Windows it may prevent a catastrophe. There is no need to tamper with
-the Master Boot Record (MBR) after the boot manager has been set up.

-caching. You may see settings for <quote>Video BIOS Shadow</quote>,
-<quote>C800-CBFF Shadow</quote>, etc. <emphasis>Disable</emphasis>
-all shadow RAM. Shadow
-RAM is used to accelerate access to the ROMs on your motherboard and
-on some of the controller cards. Linux does not use these ROMs once it
-has booted because it provides its own faster 32-bit software in place
-of the 16-bit programs in the ROMs. Disabling the shadow RAM may make
-some of it available for programs to use as normal memory. Leaving
-the shadow RAM enabled may interfere with Linux access to hardware
-devices.

- <sect3><title>Memory Hole</title>

-If your BIOS offers something like <quote>15&ndash;16 MB Memory

-you have that much RAM.

-We have a report of an Intel Endeavor motherboard on which there is an
-option called <quote>LFB</quote> or <quote>Linear Frame Buffer</quote>.
-This had two settings: <quote>Disabled</quote> and <quote>1
-Megabyte</quote>. Set it to <quote>1 Megabyte</quote>.
-When disabled, the installation floppy was not read correctly, and the
-system eventually crashed. At this writing we don't understand what's
-going on with this particular device &mdash; it just worked with that
-setting and not without it.

- <sect3><title>Advanced Power Management</title>
-<para>
-
-If your motherboard provides Advanced Power Management (APM),
-configure it so that power management is controlled by APM. Disable
-the doze, standby, suspend, nap, and sleep modes, and disable the hard
-disk's power-down timer. Linux can take over control of these modes,
-and can do a better job of power-management than the BIOS.
