Instructions to move
I'm not sure yet whether I want to keep these here or put them in the activation/dev key section as appropriate. Mchua
- If you requested an activation key: No action is required. Activation keys are automatically copied to /security/lease.sig on your XO. Keep the activation key around (or copy it to your school server) in case you later need to reflash the XO.
- If you requested a developer key:, you should see a textual prompt, which you will see within the first few seconds of booting (along with a short countdown to give you time to hit the Escape key). This is your indication that the developer key has been found.
- To permanently disable secure booting, press Escape and type "disable-security", then power cycle and repeat that command. (see Disabling Security, above.)
- The developer key is not automatically copied to your laptop's internal flash memory. You can do that by copying security/develop.sig from the USB flash drive into /security/develop.sig on the XO. You'll need to be root in a Terminal activity to do that.
Remove the USB key as usual -- via the Journal or after you are at an "ok" prompt in the boot firmware.
If you requested keys for more than one laptop, you can use the same process and the same USB key for each laptop.
