11e02bb3ffStakemura.\"
12e02bb3ffStakemuraUnfortunately, on most machines, the system can't reboot itself
13e02bb3ffStakemuraat power-up or after crashes.
14e02bb3ffStakemuraYou might have to restart the system manually.
15e02bb3ffStakemuraOnce the system starts, an automatic consistency check of the file systems
16e02bb3ffStakemurawill be performed,
17e02bb3ffStakemuraand unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.

19e02bb3ffStakemura.Ss Cold starts
20e02bb3ffStakemura.\"
21e02bb3ffStakemuraTypical MIPS based Windows CE Handheld machines
22e02bb3ffStakemuraattempt to boot Windows CE operating system in its own boot ROM.
23e02bb3ffStakemuraYou can't boot the
24e02bb3ffStakemura.Nx
25e02bb3ffStakemuradirectly skipping Windows CE.
26e02bb3ffStakemuraThe
27e02bb3ffStakemura.Nx
28e02bb3ffStakemurabootloaders are provided as application programs on Windows CE instead.
29e02bb3ffStakemuraYou can choose
30*3af2acdcSchristos.Xr hpcmips/pbsdboot 8
315b3ea154Swizor
32c59a2c9bSuwe.Xr hpcboot 8 .
33e02bb3ffStakemuraThough the bootloaders are application programs,
345b3ea154Swizthey blow away the entire Windows CE OS and its settings
355b3ea154Swizwhen the kernel boots successfully.

38e02bb3ffStakemura.\"
395b3ea154SwizOnce running, a familiar window will appear.
405b3ea154SwizYou can choose the machine type, kernel file location and kernel boot
