you have not yet run Peripheral Setup. Once values have been defined, they display each

 

time Peripheral Setup is run.

 

The AMIBIOS allows automatic or manual setup of peripheral devices. The floppy

 

drive controller, serial port, parallel port and IDE controller options on the Peripheral

 

Setup screen can each be set to Auto, which causes AMIBIOS to configure the periph-

 

erals automatically as described under each heading below.

 

When you set these options to values other than Auto, the values you set up manually are

 

used by AMIBIOS when booting the system. AMIBIOS reports any I/O conflicts after

 

displaying the BIOS Configuration Summary screen.
