actual drive string)

IDE drives will have a suffix attached to the drive ID string:

PM - hard drive on Primary Master Channel
PS - hard drive on Primary Slave Channel
SM - hard drive on Secondary Master Channel
SS - hard drive on Secondary Slave Channel

SCSI CD-ROMs will be displayed here because the onboard Symbios SCSI
bios treats CD-ROMs as hard drives.

SCSI removable drives will also appear here.

2. Other Bootable
Device

Covers all the boot devices that are not reported to the system BIOS through
the BIOS boot specification mechanism. This includes all PCI cards that are not
bios boot compliant (legacy) as well as ISA cards that are not PnP compliant.
ISA legacy cards will boot first before non-bios boot compliant PCI cards (in
scan order from lowest slot to highest).

For options on this menu, use the up or down arrow keys to select a device, then
