Install <command>aboot</command> on a Hard Disk If you have booted from SRM and you select this option, the installer will write aboot to the first sector of the disk on which you installed Debian. Be very careful — it is not possible to boot multiple operating systems (e.g. GNU/Linux, Free/Open/NetBSD, OSF/1 a.k.a. Digital Unix a.k.a. Tru64 Unix, or OpenVMS) from the same disk. If you also have a different operating system installed on the disk where you have installed Debian, you will have to boot GNU/Linux from a floppy instead.
