Boot Delay:

This option is used to set the system to delay booting for a time period in seconds.

This allows for long start up times on older boot devices that spin up slowly and

ranges from 0 through 255 seconds. 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 or SCSI drive.
