I had this problem on my Intel motherboard, and found out you can |
| 9 |
disable booting from external drives. "Boot to removable devices" or |
| 10 |
similar in the BIOS. Failing that, changing the boot order so that the |
| 11 |
firewire/USB device is at the very end of the boot list may help your |

situation. |

Say Y or M here if you |
| 28 |
want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services real mode BIOS calls to |
| 29 |
determine which disk |
| 30 |
BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs. |
