Table 20. SYSCFG Options Supported BootSeq or 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.

HddSeq or devseq

Table 21. SYSCFG Options Supported — HddSeq or devseq

Valid Arguments

● On systems prior to YX2X: numerical list separated by commas or list of device

names separated by commas

● On YX2X 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.

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 5/E Adapter(bus 02 dev

02)

Device 3:* usbkey.slot.0 - Hard-disk-emulated USB flash
