When determining the order of devices to boot from, the system first consid-
ers the order of the devices listed under the Device Controller Priority option,
then the order of devices under Boot Device Priority.

To specify your priority preferences, order the devices under these categories
so that the highest-priority controller is at the top of the Device Controller
Priority
option and the highest-priority device is at the top of the Boot Device
Priority option. Order the remainder of the devices in the Boot Device Prior-
ity
option according to your preferences. Move any devices that you want the
system to ignore during system start-up into the Exclude From Boot Device
Priority
option.

NOTE: The system defines Hard Drive C: in the Boot Device Priority option
as the first hard-disk drive attached to the highest-priority device controller.
Therefore, if you have a SCSI adapter installed in your computer and you want
the SCSI drive 0 to be drive C, you must move the SCSI adapter item to the top
of the Device Controller Priority option.

To change the order of the devices, press and the up- or down-arrow
key. If you want to revert to the original Boot Device Priority option settings,
press .

NOTE: If you exit the Device List option by pressing or with-
out making any changes, the Boot Sequence option is set to the Device List
option.
