 The installer can only expected to work with a very specific system configuration. Realistically this will only work in QEMU. The system architecture must be ia32 or amd64, the Grub platform must be 'pc' (i.e. not EFI). Also the paths to CD-ROM and disk devices are hard-coded into the installer.

  * Target disk must be on /hw/pci0/00:01.0/ata-c1/d0 (i.e. {{{-hda}}} of QEMU)
  * Target disk must have enough space to hold the system (recommend at least 128 MBytes for regular build)

 It might be possible to run the installation within QEMU and then boot the disk bare metal, as long as Grub device name is the same as in QEMU, i.e. {{{hd0}}}.
 
+== Using and shutting down/rebooting the installed system ==
+
+The installed system has a persistent file system configured under {{{/w}}}. If you make a Tetris high score, it will be stored there. However, you need to be careful when shutting down or rebooting the system. You must eject the system volume before rebooting the system or removing power, otherwise the file system could be corrupted.
+
+To reboot your system, you can do, for example:
+
+{{{
+# vol eject /w
+# kcon
+kconsole> reboot
+}}}
