Boot Device Priority Submenu
The boot device priority submenu allows you to set the relative priority of
boot devices. The device identified as priority one is the first device
searched for boot data. If that device does not have boot data or is not ready,
the system looks for boot data on the second priority device and so on.
Use the up- or down-arrow keys to select a device. Press the + or - keys to
move the device higher or lower in the boot priority list. Table 23 shows the
structure of the boot device priority submenu.
Hard Drive Submenu
The hard drive submenu allows you to set the priority of the hard drives in
respect to the boot sequence. For options on this menu, use the up or down
arrow keys to select a device. Press the
+ or - keys to move the device higher
or lower in the boot priority list. Table 24 shows the manner in which the
drives are displayed.
