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 MultiBay if a non-bootable diskette is in a port
replicator MultiBay.
■
Changing the boot order also changes the logical drive
designations. For example, if you start up from a hard drive in
the notebook MultiBay, that hard drive becomes drive C and a
hard drive in the hard drive bay 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.
