Rules on boot priority
Priority of bootable devices
(1) Case when multiple bootable devices are connected
The devices are booted in descending order of the priority set in the Boot option. If the boot has failed, the
device that is the next one in the Priorities of the same device type is booted. When the boot of the device
that is the lowest in the Priorities of the same device type has failed, a device of the Priorities of the next
device type is booted.
For example, if there are 2 Priorities for each device type, the priority of the Boot Option and the Priorities of
each device type are as following:
- Priority of boot option and the Priorities of each device type ((1) to (8))
