keyboard. You can also specify whether the server can be started with or
without a keyboard.
This window also lets you specify the order in which devices in your system are
checked for bootable media. You can specify diskette drives, hard drives or
network adapter (some systems also allow the CD-ROM to be bootable).
You can also specify if built-in virus detection is enabled at boot time, and if you
want Quick or Enhanced POST.
