•Removable Devices: Attempts to boot from the diskette drive or a removable device, such as the floppy.

•Hard Drive: Attempts to boot from a hard drive device.

•Network Boot: This device is the old network boot ROM using hook Interrupt 19h or Interrupt 18h. If the network card ROM contains the string $PnP, it uses the correct BBS and the device will appear the Boot menu as an independent device.
