The Boot Menu
Use these fields to set the devices from which the system should boot, in order
of priority, depending on your configuration. The boot device fields are dynamic
and change depending on the devices installed on your GD8000 during that boot
sequence. For example, if you have a DVD/CDRW Combo drive or a USB floppy drive
installed, they appear as options in the boot device fields. If you only have a hard disk
drive, it will be the only option that displays.
When you select a device, it is disabled in the other boot device fields.
