Quick Boot Mode
Some hardware tests are skipped to speed up the boot sequence.
SETUP prompt
The message
PRESS <F2> to enter Setup
is output at the bottom of the screen during the system run-up phase.
POST errors
The boot sequence is stopped if an error is detected; you must press F1 to
acknowledge. If "Disabled" is selected, it is not necessary to acknowledge an
error, e.g where no keyboard is connected.
Floppy check
The floppy head is stepped inward and then back to its original position during
the system run-up phase.
This test reinitializes the drive.
Summary screen
The most important system parameters are displayed when the system boot
phase completes.
'Enabled' means that the feature is active. 'Disabled' means that the feature is inactive.
