Details
This feature enables you to set the sequence in which the BIOS will search for an
operating system. To ensure the shortest booting time possible, select the hard disk that
contains your operating system as the first choice. Normally, that would be drive C but if
you are using a SCSI hard disk, then select SCSI.
Note : Some motherboards (i.e. ABIT BE6 and BP6) have an extra
onboard IDE controller. The BIOS options in these motherboards replaces the SCSI
option with an EXT option. This allows the computer to boot from an IDE hard disk on the
3rd or 4th IDE ports (courtesy of the extra onboard IDE controller) or from a SCSI hard
disk. If you want to boot from an IDE hard disk running off the 1st or 2nd IDE ports, do
not set the Boot Sequence to start with EXT. Note that this function has
to work in conjunction with the
Boot Sequence EXT Means function.
