Use Multi-Boot BIOS
Multi-boot BIOS is in compliance with BIOS Boot Specification (BBS). The system must have a Multi-boot
system BIOS in order to take advantage of this feature. Multi-boot BIOS allows you to select any boot disk
in the system BIOS setup menu. The boot disk can be a Fibre Channel drive, a SCSI drive, an IDE drive or
a floppy drive. The Emulex BIOS supplies the first eight drives to the system BIOS menu. The Multi-boot
BIOS can override the Fibre Channel drive that is selected in the BIOS utility.
For example, the system has only eight Fibre Channel disks. The boot disk has AL_PA 02. However, you
can select AL_PA 23 in the system BIOS setup menu. The boot device will be the Fibre Channel disk
with AL_PA 23 instead of AL_PA 02, as is set in the BIOS utility.
If your system supports Multi-boot BBS, the boot disk (drive C) is the first entry in Multi-boot on the
system BIOS setup menu. The list of entries is determined by the list of configured boot entries in the
BIOS utility. For example:
Adapter 1: boot_entry0, boot_entry1
Adapter 2: boot_entry2, boot_entry3
The order of boot entries that is exported to Multi-boot (BBS) is
boot_entry0, boot_entry1, boot_entry2, and boot_entry3.
However, Multi-boot can overwrite this order by using the following command:
boot_entry2, boot_entry0, boot_entry1, and boot_entry3.
In this case, drive C is
boot_entry2.
