NOTE: The term “operating system selection,” as it is used in this context, refers to a
version of Windows NT. It does not pertain to the DIGITAL UNIX and
OpenVMS operating systems.
Each operating system selection is a set of information for a version of Windows NT.
It describes the disk and partition containing the OSLOADER.EXE file associated with
a particular operating system installation, as well as the path to the operating system
itself. In addition, the operating system selection contains any options passed to the
operating system during boot.
By default, one operating system selection displays on the AlphaBIOS Boot screen for
each operating system installed on the system. It is not normally necessary to modify
operating system selections, as the Windows NT installation creates and modifies
operating system selections as needed.
Figure 8-28 shows how operating system selections appear in AlphaBIOS.
