HddSeq/devseq
Table 21. 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.
