Error Handling Page
Generally, in a normal desktop BIOS, when an error is encountered by the POST sequence, the
bootstrap stops and waits for a reboot. For example a simple keyboard absence represents an
irrecoverable error. This can be a serious problem in embedded systems. Using the Error
Handling page, the user can decide to ignore one or more of errors that could be encountered
during the boot.
