Boot order type
The boot order type displays the type of the loaded configuration. The two types of boot order are Legacy and UEFI. If the host
system file is loaded, and then it displays the currently active boot order type. If a saved file is loaded, and then it displays the
boot order type that is saved in the file.
The common scenarios for boot order type are:
● If boot order type is not specified in the file and if any UEFI devices are present on the system, and then the system displays
the boot order type as UEFI.
● If the boot order type is not specified in the file and if any legacy devices (other than hdd) are present on the system, and
then the system displays the boot order type as Legacy.
● If the boot order type is not specified and the loaded configuration file has only hdd items, and then the system prompts the
user to select the boot order type.
● If the boot order type is not specified for a legacy system and if both UEFI and legacy devices are present, and then the
system displays a warning message and removes the legacy or UEFI devices depending on the order of occurrence of the
device.
