Description
Previous Boot
Detects if a boot sequence was not completed properly, if enabled. A power
failure, reset during boot-up, or invalid CMOS configuration may cause an
incomplete boot. If BIOS detects this, it displays the message "Previous boot
incomplete - default configuration used." The system will be rebooted using the
default configuration. If this option is disabled, the system BIOS does not detect an
incomplete boot, and the system may not boot if CMOS settings are wrong. The
default is disabled.
Boot Sequence
Attempts to load the operating system from the disk drives in the sequence
selected here. The default is A: then C:
Setup Prompt
Displays the message, "Press <F2> to enter Setup," during boot up. The default is
disabled.
POST Errors
Halts the system if it encounters a boot error when enabled, and will display "Press
<F1> to resume, <F2> for Setup.” The default is enabled.
Floppy Check
Seeks disk drives on the system during boot up if enabled. Disabling speeds boot
time. The default is enabled.
Summary Screen
Displays the system summary screen during boot up when enabled. The default is
enabled. This screen is a standard Phoenix BIOS screen and provides information
