Use these three items to select the priority and order of the devices that your system
searches for an operating system at start-up time.
Boot Other Device (Enabled)
When enabled, the system searches all other possible locations for an operating system if it
fails to find one in the devices specified under the First, Second, and Third boot devices.
Swap Floppy Drive (Disabled)
If you have two floppy diskette drives in your system, this item allows you to swap the
assigned drive letters so that drive A becomes drive B, and drive B becomes drive A.
Boot Up Floppy Seek (Enabled)
If this item is enabled, it checks the size of the floppy disk drives at start-up time. You don’t
need to enable this item unless you have a legacy diskette drive with 360K capacity.
