At the DSL splash screen you see a boot prompt, where the boot process pauses for a few seconds. This is the time to enter boot options.

HD install makes a big difference.

Search the forums for

bootlocal.sh

You will find that many things that are easy to do on a live system -Mobile Live Linux Software systems or MOLLS - become majer problems when you install to HDD.

You have to edit the file mentioned and include the boot time options.
