If you configure multiple units in 3BM and you want to install the OS on one
of them so that you can boot from that unit, that unit must be the first unit.
You can change the order of the units in 3BM.
To change the order of units in 3BM
1 At the main 3BM screen, in the list of exportable units, highlight the unit
you want to move.
2 Press the key to move the unit up the list; press the
Page Up
key to move the unit down the list.
Position the unit you want to be bootable at the top of the list of
exportable units.
3 When you are finished working in 3BM, press
and exit.
After you create a unit, whether through 3BM or 3DM, it needs to be
formatted, partitioned, and mounted by the operating system before it can be
used.
The steps vary, depending on whether your operating system is Windows, or
Linux and FreeBSD.
