Re: [SLE] SuSE Restart vs Shutdown

Actually, SUSE does NOT bypass your BIOS settings, *but* it has 2
bootloaders, one on the CD-ROM and other in the Hard Disk, so you migh boot
from CD-ROM wait for 10 seconds, and if you don't pressed any buttons, it
boot from Hard Disk.

So *watch* carefully what bootloader runs after restart. (and don't blink)

The two bootloaders look the same but have one *big* diffrence - bootloader
on CD has first option to "boot from Hard Disk", while bootloader on Hard
Disk has no such option, because it already booted from HDD.
