Setting Multiboot Preferences; Setting A New Default Boot Sequence - HP Compaq NC6000 Software Manual

■
Starting up from a NIC does not affect logical drive
designations because no drive letter is associated with
the NIC.

Drives in an optional Port Replicator are treated like external
USB devices in the boot sequence and must be enabled in
Computer Setup.
