2.7 Boot Menu
First, Second, Third, Fourth Boot Device
The Boot Menu allows you to select 13 types of boot devices. Promotion or
demotion of devices alters the priority which the system uses to boot device on
system power up. Configuration options include [Floppy] [LS120] [HDD-0] [SCSI]
[CDROM] [HDD-1] [HDD-2] [HDD-3] [ZIP100] [USB-FDD] [USB-ZIP]
[USB-CDROM] [USB-HDD] [LAN] [Disabled]
PNP OS Installed [Yes]
This field allows you to use a Plug and Play (PnP) operating system to configure
the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. When [Yes] is selected, interrupts may
be reassigned by the OS. If you installed a non-PnP OS or if you want to prevent
reassigning of interrupt settings, keep the default setting [No].

Select [Enabled], if you want to clear the Extended System Configuration Data

drive has 40 or 80 tracks. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

When enabled, this option allows you to distribute interrupt routings other than the
16 IRQs. The Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) setting allows you to use
