[nos-bbs] JNOS in TTY console on bootup - FIXED

[Bob Tenty]

Bill,

It could be that your running grub 2 with Ubuntu 10.10

Try holding the shift button as soon as you see the bios screen..

You always have a menu even with one kernel..

You can see the kernels installed if your look in the /boot directory

73,
