Changing Windows NT Boot Selections
The Windows NT firmware uses boot selections to locate the operating system files.
When the system is shipped, the default boot selection identifies the system disk as the
location of the operating system files. Thus, the system boots from the system disk. You
can set alternative boot selections if, for example, you want to boot the operating system
from a different device.
