Using the Default Search Sequence

By default, MultiBoot is disabled and the computer selects the startup medium or device by searching enabled locations in the following sequence.

The following list describes the order in which drive numbers are assigned. The actual startup sequence will vary by configuration. For example, the computer searches only once for a device containing a medium that can boot as drive A. If the first device it searches does not contain a medium that can boot as drive A, the computer begins a single search for a device containing a medium that can boot as drive C.
