3.3.5 Boot Adapter List Menu
The Boot Adapter List Menu specifies the order in which adapters boot
when there are multiple Symbios adapters in a system. Up to four of the
adapters in a system can be selected as bootable. This menu may also
list additional adapters in your system that are not bootable. As many as
256 adapters can be listed. To control a Boot Volume, only one of the
four “active” controllers can be used.
To select this menu:
1.
Press F2 while on the Main Menu to move the cursor to the Optional
Menu area.

Move the cursor to Boot Adapter List with the arrow keys.
3.
Press Enter.
Adapters can be added or deleted using this menu. Use the arrow keys
to move the cursor to the lower list, the adapter select list, to add or
remove an adapter. To add an adapter to the boot list, press the Insert
key while on the Boot Adapter List. Use the arrow keys to select the
desired adapter and press Enter to add it to the end of the Boot Adapter
List. To change the configuration of the adapter, use the arrow keys to
move to the configuration you want to alter.
