When the computer restarts and searches for a startup drive, it
considers only the first drive of each type. For example, in the
default boot order, the computer will not start from a bootable
diskette in the diskette drive bay of the mobile expansion unit if a
non-bootable diskette is in the external diskette drive connected to
the computer.
Changing the boot order also changes the logical drive
designations. For example, if you start up from a hard drive in the
mobile expnasion base MultiBay, it becomes drive C and a hard
drive in the primary hard drive bay becomes drive D. Starting up
from a network card does not affect logical drive designations.
