Subject: OS setting in BIOS
Date: Sun, 25 May 2008 12:40:17 +0100
I was poking around in my BIOS this morning and rediscovered a setting to 
define the installed OS. I'd wondered about it some time ago and then 
forgotten about it.

I can set the BIOS setting "OS Installation" to "Other" or to "64bit Linux 
2.6.9". I have it set to Other at the moment. My questions are: what effect 
this setting is likely to have, and whether it's really specific to the 
version.

This is a Supermicro H8DCE motherboard with dual Opteron 246s and 4GB RAM in 
four banks, two connected to each CPU.

I've tried Google but found nothing.
