This option lets you select the sequence of the drives on which the system searches for a valid boot record when you turn it on.
The default startup sequence is the first diskette drive followed by the first hard disk. You can alter this sequence with this utility. Figure 47 shows an example of the startup sequence when one hard disk is installed.
