--devseq numerical list,

or
list of device
names,

commas
This option sets the hard-drive sequence for a system. Without an argument,
this option displays the device list. The argument must be formatted as a
comma-separated numerical list of device index values. The list must be
within the bounds of the current boot list. For example, the low and high
numbers must match. Systems that use a numerical list for boot order cannot
be replicated. This option is available on all supported systems.
Some systems allow the boot order to be expressed as a list of device names.
Systems that support device names also support replication of the boot order
through the output file option. Device names are formatted as a
name.location.instance string, where name is the name of the device, location
is either slot or embedded (emb), and instance is the numerical position of
the device. Some device name examples are shown below. Systems that
support a list of device names for boot order can be replicated.

Example 1:
A:>syscfg --devseq
The following devices are set in the disk device
sequence:
Device 1:* hdd.emb.0 - System BIOS boot devices
Device 2:* scsiraid.slot.3 - PERC 4/SC Adapter(bus 02
dev 02)
Device 3:* usbkey.slot.0 - Hard-disk-emulated USB
flash drive
Example 2:
A:>syscfg --devseq=hdd.emb.1,scsiraid.emb.1
The following devices are set in the disk device
sequence:
Device 1:* hdd.emb.0 - System BIOS boot devices
Device 2:* scsiraid.emb.1 - AIC-7899, A:00 Seagate
NOTE: The asterisk indicates that the device is enabled in the BIOS.
--embideraid on, off This option enables or disables the embedded IDE RAID controller. This
option is only valid for supported systems that have IDE ROMB. This option
can be replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --embideraid=on
embideraid=on
