Interrupt 19 Capture Interrupt 19 is the software interrupt that handles the boot disk function. When this
item is set to Enabled, the ROM BIOS of the host adaptors (any PCI storage devices)
captures Interrupt 19 at boot and allows the drives that are attached to these host
adaptors to function as bootable disks. If this item is set to Disabled, the ROM BIOS
of the host adaptors does not capture Interrupt 19, and the drives attached to these
adaptors do not function as bootable devices. The options are Enabled and
Disabled.
