This option can be used to complete the installation even when no boot
10
loader is to be installed, either because the arch/subarch doesn't
11
provide one, or because none is desired (e.g. you will use existing
12
boot loader). <phrase arch="m68k">This option is especially useful for
13
Macintosh, Atari, and Amiga systems, where the original operating system
14
must be maintained on the box and used to boot GNU/Linux.</phrase>

If you plan to manually configure your bootloader, you should check the
19
name of the installed kernel in <filename>/target/boot</filename>.
20
You should also check that directory for the presence of an
21
<firstterm>initrd</firstterm>; if one is present, you will probably have
22
to instruct your bootloader to use it. Other information you will need
23
are the disk and partition you selected for your <filename>/</filename>
24
filesystem and, if you chose to install <filename>/boot</filename> on a
25
separate partition, also your <filename>/boot</filename> filesystem.
