Planning Changes to the Startup
Sequence
Before changing the startup sequence, consider the following:
When the notebook restarts after your MultiBoot changes
and searches for a startup drive, it considers only the first
drive of each type. For example, in the default boot order,
the notebook will not start from a bootable diskette in the
notebook if a non-bootable diskette is in a port replicator.
Changing the boot order also changes the logical drive
designations. For example, if you start up from a hard drive in
the notebook, that hard drive becomes drive C and a hard
drive in the optional port replicator becomes drive D. If you
start up from a diskette drive in a port replicator, that diskette
drive becomes drive A. Starting up from a NIC does not
affect logical drive designations.
The list of bootable devices in Computer Setup includes
only
the bootable devices currently in the notebook or a port
replicator and any USB drives connected to the notebook or a
port replicator.
