Boot Delay:

Use this option to set the system to delay booting for a time period in seconds that you

set. This allows for long start up times on boot devices that spin up slowly. The

default is zero.

Boot Sequence:

Use this option to define how the system treats floppy drive A: when booting. You can

boot from a floppy in the A: drive or boot directly from the fixed disk drive. To reduce

the amount of time required to boot, set the boot sequence to use the C: drive only.

Note that the C: drive may be an IDE drive, Flash memory, a disk image on the

VMEbus, or a SCSI drive. The options are as follows:

1. A: then C: Used to boot from the floppy disk drive, or if no floppy is

present in the A: drive, boot from the C: drive.

2. C: then A: Used to boot from the C: drive, whether Flash or IDE, or if

none is present, boot from the A: drive.

3. C: only Used to boot from the C: drive without searching for an A:

drive.
