If Diskette Drive appears first (the default), the computer attempts to boot first from
a bootable diskette. If it does not detect a diskette in the diskette drive, the computer
tries to boot from the hard-disk drive. If there is a diskette in the diskette drive, but the
diskette does not have the required boot files, an error message is displayed.
Hard Drive first causes the computer to boot only from the hard-disk drive. If it fails to
boot from the hard-disk drive, the computer does not attempt to boot from the dis-
kette drive.
CD-ROM Drive first causes the computer to attempt booting first from a bootable CD.
If it does not detect a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive, the computer tries to boot
from the hard-disk drive. If there is a CD in the CD-ROM drive, but the CD does not
have the required boot files, an error message is displayed.
