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:Hard Disk, and 3rd:CD-ROM) 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 by booting up from the hard disk. If it cannot boot up from the hard disk, it continues to search for a bootable CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
