MultiBoot
A bootable medium or network interface card (NIC) contains
files that the notebook needs to start and operate properly. The
MultiBoot utility, disabled by default, enables you to identify the
devices and control the sequence in which the system attempts to
boot from those devices, as it starts up your notebook.
Bootable devices include optical drive discs, such as CDs or
DVDs, bootable diskettes, or a NIC.
✎
Some devices, including USB devices and NICs must be
enabled in Computer Setup before they can be included in
the boot sequence. For more information, refer to the
"Bootable Devices in Computer Setup" section, later in this
chapter.
