to find a boot record. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive; checks the hard disk drive,
and then checks a network adapter. You can enable a virus-warning test that
checks for changes in the master boot record at startup. You can choose to run
POST in the quick mode, or read the microprocessor serial number.
You can also enable the computer to start from the network by enabling the
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent to customize the network as
the first startable device in the startup sequence.
