The boot -mechanism of this platform is inherently different to other ones, -especially from PC-like systems: there are no floppy devices available -at all. You will notice another big difference while you work with -this platform: most (if not all) of the time you will work remote, -with the help of some client session software like telnet, or a -browser.

You can use a boot tape on all of those systems; you -may use some other boot media, too, but those may not be generally -available. For example, you can use the virtual card reader of a -virtual machine, or boot from the HMC (Hardware Management Console) of -an LPAR if the HMC and this option is available for you. - -</para><para> - -Before you actually perform an installation, you have to go over some -design and preparation steps.
