You cannot make a non-00 array bootable if the array is in a
build/verify or reconfiguration process.
The controller always uses the lowest numbered array as its
bootable array. If you delete array 00 for any reason, the next
higher numbered array becomes the boot array. Mark the correct
array as the bootable array by making it array 00.
If the controller is not a boot device, you can disable its runtime
BIOS to conserve ROM.
