z Boot Sequence
The original IBM PCs load the DOS operating system from drive A
(floppy disk), so IBM PC-compatible systems are designed to search
for an operating system first on drive A, and then on drive C (hard
disk). However, the BIOS now offers 11 different boot sequence
options of three drives each. In addition to the traditional drives A and
C, options include IDE hard drives D, E, and F; plus a SCSI hard drive
and a CD-ROM drive. This category determines from which drive the
computer searches first for the disk operating system (i.e., DOS).
Default value is
“A,C,SCSI”
.
