Determining the Booting Controller
Adaptec ZCR controllers are shipped with a controller BIOS ROM
enabled for PCI assignment. This BIOS intercepts and processes
Int13h BIOS calls with an embedded DOS driver.
Controlling which device the system will start from may involve
two separate steps, one in the system's Setup screen area, and the
second in the controller card's settings.
System Setup
Consult the documentation that came with your system for
particulars on changing the Setup options. Look for an entry in the
system's Setup area called Boot Sequence or something similar. In
it, you can set the device order that will be used for starting your
system.
Placing the CD-ROM drive first; then the hard disk drive will make
installing the operating system easier. Placing the floppy disk
drive, which might be called a floppy diskette drive, before the
hard drives might be handy, but Windows and Linux do not use
floppy disks for installation much anymore.
