On this screen you can create a
root password.
A root password can contain any
number of characters, but only
the first eight characters in
the password are significant.
(For example, if you create
`a1b2c3d4e5f6' as your
rootpassword, you can use
`a1b2c3d4' to gain root
access.)
You will be prompted to type
the root password twice; for
security, the password will not
be displayed on the screen as
you type it.
> If you do not want a root
password, press RETURN twice.
