AW: [Oberon] New A2: How to stop boot.

[Stauber Sven Philipp]

Dear Edgar,

Either enable ScrollLock or hold down the shift key to interrupt the Oberon Boot Loader. MaxProcs=1 most likely won't help (the bug that made this configuration string necessary was fixed quite some time ago).

For some detailed startup troubleshooting guide, see http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/Documentation/Installation#toc11. 

Best,
Sven

Hi all,

in case your wondered. I'm still alive :-) and finally decided to 
install A2 on my new notebook.

Bad luck :-( "Oberon loading", black screen!
Does anybody remember the key to stop booting to configure boot parameters?
My best guess will be to set proc=1.
