--devseq numerical list,
separated by
commas
or
list of device
names,
separated by
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.
