Stopping and restarting an installation

To stop the installation:

Press <F2> in any window, or select q at a prompt to quit. Once you quit the installation, any information you have already entered is lost. You must start the installation again from the beginning.

To restart the installation:

Verify that the Boot Disk is in the drive and press <Enter>. At the Boot: prompt, press <Enter> again. If you are using the BTLD utility and you need to restart the installation, insert the Boot Disk and enter restart link=pkg1 at the Boot: prompt (where pkg1 is the name of the package from which to extract the required BTLD drivers).

To stop the installation process after the software loading begins:

Verify that the Boot Disk is in the drive, then press the computer ``reset'' button or turn the power off and on. At the Boot: prompt, press <Enter> to start the installation again from the beginning.

If you stop the installation after the software starts loading, the previous system cannot reliably be restored. If the previous system is not restored, the Upgrade installation type and the Preserve disk layout option may not be available in the restarted installation, even though they were available in the first (aborted) installation.
