<title><command>delo</command>-installer</title>
<para>
The boot loader on DECstations is <command>DELO</command>.
It has to be installed on the same hard disk as the kernel (this is done
automatically by the installer). DELO supports different configurations
which are set up in <filename>/etc/delo.conf</filename>. Each
configuration has a unique name,
the default setup as created by the installer is <quote>linux</quote>.
After DELO has been installed, the system can be booted from hard disk
by entering
<informalexample><screen>
<userinput>boot <replaceable>#</replaceable>/rz<replaceable>id</replaceable> <replaceable>partnr</replaceable>/<replaceable>name</replaceable></userinput>
</screen></informalexample>
on the firmware prompt.

In case <filename>/etc/delo.conf</filename> is on the first partition
on the disk and the default configuration shall be booted, it is
sufficient to use

<userinput>boot #/rz<replaceable>id</replaceable></userinput>
