Interrupt 19 Capture

Interrupt 19 is the software interrupt that handles the boot disk function. When this 

item is set to Enabled, the ROM BIOS of the host adaptors will "capture" Interrupt 

19 at boot and allow the drives that are attached to these host adaptors to function 

as bootable disks. If this item is set to Disabled, the ROM BIOS of the host adap-

tors will not capture Interrupt 19, and the drives attached to these adaptors will not 

function as bootable devices. The options are 

Enabled

 and Disabled.
