1st IDE-HDD, 2nd IDE-HDD, 3rd IDE-HDD and 4th IDE-HDD are the four hard
disks that can be installed by the BIOS. 1st IDE-HDD is the first hard disk
installed by the BIOS, 2nd IDE-HDD is the second hard disk, and so on. For
example, if the system has a hard disk connected to Primary Slave and
another hard disk to Secondary Master, then 1st IDE-HDD will be referred to
as the hard disk connected to Primary Slave and 2nd IDE-HDD will be
referred to as the hard disk connected to the Secondary Master. 3rd IDE-
HDD and 4th IDE-HDD are not present. Note that the order of the initializa-
tion of the devices connected to the primary and secondary channels are
Primary Master first, Primary Slave second, Secondary Master third, and
Secondary Slave fourth.
The BIOS will attempt to read the boot record from 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th boot
device in the selected order until it is successful in reading the booting
record. The BIOS will not attempt to boot from any device which is not
selected as the boot device.

the other boot devices (in a predefined sequence) which are present but not
selected as boot devices in the setup (and hence not yet been tried for
