Some hardware tests are skipped to speed up the boot sequence.
During the system load phase, the message
Press <F2> to enter Setup or <Esc> to show boot menu is output on the bottom of the screen.
The boot sequence is stopped if an error is detected; you must press F1 to acknowledge. Enter "Disabled" to avoid the necessity of acknowledging errors, for example, if no keyboard is connected.
The floppy head is stepped inward and then back to its original position during the system boot phase. This test is useful because it reinitializes the drive.
The most important system parameters are displayed when the system boot phase completes.
'Enabled' means that the feature is active. 'Disabled' means that the feature is inactive.
