Table 19. SYSCFG Options Supported — BootSeq/bootseq (continued)
Example 2:
#syscfg --bootseq=nic.emb.1,virtual.slot.1
The following devices are set in the boot sequence:
Device 4:* nic.emb.1 - IBA GE Slot 0638 v
Device 5:* virtual.slot.1 - VIRTUALCDROM DRIVE
Device 2: cdrom.emb.0 - IDE CD-ROM device
Device 3: hdd.emb.0 - Hard drive C:
Device 1: floppy.emb.0 - Diskette drive A:
NOTE: The asterisk indicates that the device is enabled in the BIOS.
Applicable Systems All PowerEdge systems

Table 20. SYSCFG Options Supported — HddSeq/devseq
Valid Arguments
● On systems prior to 12G: numerical list separated by commas or list of device
names separated by commas
● On 12G and later systems: list of device names separated by commas
Description
Sets the hard-drive sequence for a system. The first hard drive in the system will
be the bootable C: drive in DOS/DOS-like operating systems. 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 applicable
when bootmode is set to Bios and has no effect when bootmode is set to Uefi.
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.
