Selectable Drive-Startup Sequence
Selectable drive-startup (selectable boot) allows you to control the
startup sequence of the drives in your computer. The order in which
the computer looks for the drives for your operating system is the

drive-startup sequence

. If you are working with multiple operating
systems, you might want to change the drive-startup sequence to
load the operating system from the hard disk without first checking
the diskette drive, or to do a remote program load (RPL).
Attention
When changing your startup sequence, you must be extremely
careful when doing write operations (such as copying, saving, or
formatting). Your data or programs can be overwritten if you select
the wrong drive.
For more information about the selectable drive-startup sequence,
