Planning Changes to the Startup Sequence

Before changing the startup sequence, consider the following:

When the notebook restarts after your MultiBoot changes and searches for a startup drive, it considers only the first drive of each type. For example, in the default boot order, the notebook will not start from a bootable diskette in the notebook MultiBay if a non-bootable diskette is in a port replicator MultiBay.

Changing the boot order also changes the logical drive designations. For example, if you start up from a hard drive in the notebook MultiBay, that hard drive becomes drive C and a hard drive in the hard drive bay becomes drive D. If you start up from a diskette drive in a port replicator, that diskette drive becomes drive A. Starting up from a NIC does not affect logical drive designations.

The list of bootable devices in Computer Setup includes only the bootable devices currently in the notebook or a port replicator and any USB drives connected to the notebook or a port replicator.
