You should now have the boot prompt. Simply press Enter at this
point.
Once you press Enter, you should see the message Loading..., and
then Uncompressing Linux..., and then a screenful or so of
information about the hardware in your system. In general, you can
ignore these messages. Linux will look for various hardware devices
and will tell you what it finds and doesn’t find. Don’t worry about
messages at this point. Just wait until you see the Color Selection
screen. If you have trouble, see section B.2 on page [*].
