The user can also override the choices in the Boot Mode Menu while the system
initialization indicators display on the screen. For example, if the user had enabled
the system to enter the SMS menus (option 1) but pressed the 8 key while the
system initialization indicators displayed on the screen, the system would enter the
Open Firmware prompt and disregards the settings in the Boot Mode Menu.
After the logo displays, the initialization icons display across the bottom of the screen.
