some items.

This field determines the drive that the system searches first for an
operating system. The default value is A, C, SCSI. The options are :

assignments so that Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes
Drive A. By default, this field is set to Disabled.

When enabled, the BIOS will seek whether or not the floppy drive
installed has 40 or 80 tracks. 360K type has 40 tracks while 760K,
1.2M and 1.44M all have 80 tracks. By default, this field is set to
Enabled.

the system. By default, the system boots up with NumLock On.

device used to address memory above 1 MB. The default setting is

default, this field is Disabled.
