The Path Configuration menu shows the current values of the Primary, Alternate, Console
and Keyboard paths and allows you to select which path to change.
Paths are used as a means of storing the address information of a specific device. This
stored description may be used later to locate a bootable device, a console or a keyboard.
The names of these paths may be thought of as the names of areas in the system EEPROM
used to store information needed by programs to locate a specific device.
Table 3-2 lists the paths recognized by the firmware.
