Default Configuration
When the system is first powered on, the system ROM detects the unconfigured
state of the hardware and provides default configuration settings for most
devices. By providing this initialization the system can run Diagnostics and
other software applications before running the normal SmartStart and System
Configuration programs.
NOTE: If you format and partition your boot drive before running SmartStart and
the System Configuration programs this may prohibit creating a System
Partition and using the management features that it provides.
As part of the default configuration process you are prompted for your intended
installation Operating System. On subsequent re-boots you may change your
Operating System selection if you entered a wrong choice.
