Boot Device Priority lists all bootable devices (hard-disk drives, CD-ROM drives, and so on) that are controlled by the system BIOS and any Plug and Play network adapters installed in the system. Exclude From Boot Device Priority allows you to remove from Boot Device Priority any boot devices that you want the system to ignore during system start-up. Device Controller Priority lists the system BIOS controller; integrated SCSI controllers; any non-Plug and Play devices, such as network adapter cards; and any secondary controller cards, such as a small computer system interface (SCSI) adapter, installed in the system. NOTE: Non-Plug and Play devices appear in the list as Adapters without ID support. When determining the order of devices to boot from, the system first considers the order of the devices listed under Device Controller Priority and then considers the order of devices under Boot Device Priority.

Order the remainder of the devices in Boot Device Priority according to your preferences. Move any devices that you want the system to ignore during start-up into Exclude From Boot Device Priority. NOTE: The system defines drive C in Boot Device Priority as the first hard-disk drive attached to the highest-priority device controller. Therefore, if you have a SCSI adapter installed in your system and you want the SCSI drive 0 to be drive C, you must move the SCSI adapter item to the top of Device Controller Priority.
