2.5.2 Boot Order Netfinity 7000
When the system boots, it will determine a boot device in a certain order. The
system will then boot from the first bootable device it finds. A bootable device
does not mean that there is an operating system installed. If a diskette is in the
diskette drive without an operating system and the diskette drive has a higher
priority in the boot order than another drive, the system will try to boot from the
diskette. If there is no operating system on the diskette drive, the system will
show an error message that it cannot boot.
