boot into the standard Cisco AVS Runtime Image (choice 0 on the menu, and the default). You can press
Enter to avoid this delay and choose the default. To select a different boot image, use the up or down
arrow keys to select it, and press Enter to continue with the boot process.

not be used for normal operation.
