The Pegasus BIOS screen should appear, followed by the SBC beginning booting from the external storage device.
When you plug PC/104 boards onto Pegasus, the BIOS may or may not recognize the new board. If the new board
is not recognized, you may need to configure the new hardware in the BIOS before being able to use it. You can
configure the system's IRQ/DMA resources from the BIOS's PnP/PCI Configuration screen. The following table
shows the USB2-3, if using a USB keyboard and mouse IRQ levels.
