Interrupt 19 Capture

Interrupt 19 is the software interrupt that handles the boot disk function. When this

item is set to Enabled, the ROM BIOS of the host adaptors will "capture" Interrupt 19

at bootup and allow the drives that are attached to these host adaptors to function

as bootable disks. If this item is set to Disabled, the ROM BIOS of the host adap-

tors will not capture Interrupt 19, and the drives attached to these adaptors will not

function as bootable devices. The options are Enabled and Disabled.
