The system boot will not be halted for any error

 

that may be detected.

All errors

Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error,

 

the system will stop and you will be prompted.

All, But Keyboard

The system boot will not be halted for a

 

keyboard error; it will stop for all other errors

All, But Diskette

The system boot will not be halted for a disk

 

error; it will stop for all other errors.

All, But Disk/Key

The system boot will not be halted for a key-

 

board or disk error; it will stop for all others.
