The system first tries to boot from the file marked with ”M”, and if the attempt fails the backup boot file which is marked with “B”. In case both attempts fail, the system tries to boot from the secure boot file (the one marked with “S”), which is the last normal boot means. If this boot attempt fails, the system prompts the boot failure. The system displays boot file type during the booting process.
