This
displays
the
number
of
sector
cache
buffers
being
used.
Buffers
improve
disk
access
time
but
use
512
bytes
of
memory
per
buffer.
You
can
use
as
many
buffers
as
you
wish
provided
you
have
enough
free
memory.
As
a
general
rule
you
can
use
30-50
buffers
for
every
megabyte
of
RAM
in
your
system.
This
allows
you
to
determine
which
drive
or
partition
will
boot
your
system.
This
will
only
apply
to
bootable
partitions.
If
you
use
a
hard
drive
partition
to
boot,
you
should
copy
your
Workbench
into
that
partition.
The
value
of
the
Boot
Priority
can
range
from
127
to
-128.
A
larger
value
has
a
higher
priority
than
a
lower
value.
The
Amiga's
floppy
disk
drive
(DFO:)
has
a
Boot
Priority
of
5,
Never
set
a
partition's
boot
priority
above
4.
It
is
suggested
that
you
set
your
boot
partition's
priority
to
1,
and
any
other
bootable
partitions
to
a
priority
of
0.
