ATTENTION

During the installation or start-up of BOS, different characters than usual represent the character delete, line delete, and interrupt functions. During these operations,

¥character delete (backspace), usually [Control-h], is [#]

¥line delete, usually [Control-u], is [@]

¥interrupt, usually [Control-c], is Delete

If you make a mistake entering the date, use [#] to delete characters. If you press [Delete], a Ò#Ó prompt appears; press [Control-d] to return to where you were.

16You are prompted to confirm the date you entered. Type y and press [Return].

If the date is not correct, type n and press [Return]. You are then prompted to enter the date, as in step 15.

When you enter the date successfully and respond y to the prompt, the BOS software management menu appears (Figure 185).
