Post subject: changing IBM PL300 boot sequence
Archived from groups: comp>sys>ibm>pc>hardware>misc, others (more info?)

I just bought a IBM PL300 from http://www.retrobox.com I would like
to install Windows 2000 on it. In an ideal world I would like to
boot the computer of the CD-Rom, but I am unable to figure out how
to change the boot sequence. It does appear to be first the floppy
and then the hard drive. I would like to to first look to the
CD-Rom. Any thoughts?

Sam
