# SPARC: Booting Your Machine

If you didn't install SILO, you'll have to use your boot disk now.

If you did install SILO, after your computer's normal power-up sequence has completed, you should see SILO's standard prompt, which is `boot:`. At the `boot:` prompt, you can do any of the following things:

- Press Enter -- Causes SILO's default boot entry to be booted.

- Enter a Boot Label, followed by Enter -- Causes SILO to boot the operating system corresponding to the boot label.

- Do Nothing -- After SILO's timeout period, (which, by default, is five seconds) SILO will automatically boot the default boot entry.
