Boot Other Device

If your boot device is not included in the following choices Floppy,
LS120, HDD0, HDD1, HDD2, HDD3, SCSI, CDROM, LAN, you may

set First/Second/Third Boot devices to Disable

 and 

enable the

BOOT Other Device function

.  The system will automatically boot

the other device.

Swap Floppy Drive

This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives.
Selecting enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and
physical drive A to logical drive B.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine
whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have
40 tracks; drives with 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB capacity all
have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy
drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save
time.

Boot Up NumLock Status

Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the NumLock key
when the system boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad
generates numbers instead of controlling cursor operations.

Gate A20 Option

Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1
MB (extended memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset
controls Gate A20. When set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard
controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves
system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.
