Booting the System
Boot "boot selection identifier"
Selecting this menu item causes the system to boot the default operating system. The boot
selection identifier, Windows NT in this case, uses values that were set up with the
"Manage boot selection" menu. The default boot selection identifier is the identifier at the
top of the identifier list. When the Boot Windows NT command is selected, you will see
something similar to the following:
OS Loader V3.5
.............
Microsoft (R) Windows NT (TM) Version 3.5
1 System Processor [49128 Kb memory]
Checking file system on C:
The type of file system is FAT.
The volume is clean.
The screen then displays a Microsoft Windows NT Server graphic and the Welcome box
appears.
Boot an Alternate Operating System
The "Boot an alternate operating system" command is located in the Boot menu. Use this
command to select a boot selection identifier that is different from the default selection.
For example, you could have multiple versions of Microsoft Windows NT installed, each
with its own unique boot selection identifier; use this command to select the version you
want to boot.
Manage Boot Selection Menu
Reach the "Manage boot selection menu" from the Setup menu. Use the manage boot
selection menu to add, change, check, delete, dump (list), and rearrange boot selections.
