--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.
