Other llc'sIf you have an Apple Ile without the enhancement that allows you to use3Vz-inch disk drives, your system will check the internal disk drive for abootable disk. If it cannot find one or if the disk drive door is open, thesystem will stop and you will see a message asking you to check yourdisk drive.Startirng Up an Alternative ConfigurationPut your boot disk in the disk drive from which you wish to start up. Yourstartup drive must be the first disk drive installed in its particular slot (youcannot boot from the second disk drive installed on any controller card).Turn on your system; or press CONTROL-RE.SET or o-CONTROL-RESET,depending on your system. Some configurations will start up at this point,some will hang, and others will display a message.In general, if your system hangs with a 514-inch disk drive spinning or givesyou a message to check your disk drive, follow these steps:o Enter BASIC by pressing CONTROL-RESET twice.o Enter the BASIC command PR#n, where n is the slot number of yourstartup drive. This command sends the system to the slot numbercontaining the drive with your boot disk in it.What Happens During Start UpThe initial loading of the system software into the computer's memory iscommonly called starting up or booting the program.The first stage of booting Pascal is the loading of the P-code interpreter,SYSTEM.APPLE. The second stage loads the Pascal operating system,SYSTEM.PASCAL, and the file SYSTEM.MISCINFO. Starting up with onedisk that contains all three of these files is called a one-stage boot.If space constraints make it inconvenient to have all of these files on asingle disk, you can use a two-stage boot. If you have only one 514-inchdisk drive, you are most likely to need a two-stage boot. In this case, youbegin the startup operation with a disk that contains the fileSYSTEM.APPLE in the appropriate drive. When its part of the startupoperation is complete, you remove it and insert a disk that contains the filesSYSTEM.PASCAL and SYSTEM.MISCINFO.I-10Getting Started
