5. The boot process / login
After starting the terminal emulation, turn on the device.
The terminal window should now display messages from the U-Boot boot loader. If you press any
key within the first 3 seconds, the Linux kernel does not boot automatically and the U-Boot entry
screen appears.
After 3 seconds, the kernel is loaded from the Flash memory, and the root file system image
(likewise stored in the Flash memory) is unpacked and mounted. After a few seconds, and after
output of the kernel's boot messages, you are presented with the login prompt.
