Short count-down for the BIOS stage, where IDE devices are reported:
- A cd device (bootstrap.iso)
- An hd device (2 GB, non formated)
The screen can sometimes been entirely filled by the error below:
EBIOS read error: Error 0x31
Block 0 Sectors 4
This is not really problematic and should lead to the next screen.
The bootloader does not come from the media (bootstrap.iso) but from VMware (as displayed version shows).
See the VMware page for more information.
If [F8] is pressed, additional boot arguments can be passed to the kernel.
A Kernel EXTens decompression might occur.
Notice the cd-rom icon blinking while reading.

The goal of this project is to make Darwin more usable by providing an installation ISO, documentation, and add-on software. You are welcome to join #puredarwin on irc.freenode.net or the Gitter chat if you would like to join PureDarwin development and to add to this site.
The Wiki pages were recently moved from Google Sites and in the conversion process some formatting was lost. Please help fixing the markdown of this page by editing it. But please delete nothing, especially not (broken) images; fix them instead (see the main page of the Wiki for an example).
