Boot Delay
Use this option to set the system to delay booting for a time period from 0 through 255
seconds. This allows for long start up times on boot devices that spin up slowly. The
default is “0” seconds.
Boot Sequence
This option is used to define how the system treats floppy drive A: when booting.
Booting can occur from a floppy in the A: drive or directly from the fixed disk drive.
To reduce the amount of time required to boot, the boot sequence should be set to “C:
only”. Note that the C: drive may be either an IDE, VME or Flash drive. The options
are as follows:
1. A: then C: Used to boot from the floppy drive, or if no floppy disk is
present in the A: drive, boot from the C: drive.
