Setting the Boot Drive Sequence
The Boot Drive Sequence section lists boot priorities (1st, 2nd and 3rd ) for bootable drives in your computer.
For example, the default value (1st:Floppy Disk, 2nd:CD-ROM and 3rd:Hard Disk) tells the computer to first
search for a bootable floppy disk in the floppy drive. If it finds one present, it boots up from that floppy disk. If
not, the computer continues to search for a bootable CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. If it cannot boot up from
the CD-ROM drive, it continues by booting up from the hard disk.
To set the boot drive sequence, use the cursor up/down keys to select a priority level (1st, 2nd and 3rd), then
use the cursor left/right keys to select the device for that priority level.
