The boot process for the MBA boot ROM varies depending 
on the type of PC you have (BBS BIOS-compatible or 
non-BBS BIOS-compatible).

If your PC was purchased recently, it may be BBS (BIOS Boot 
Specification) BIOS-compatible. The BBS determines how 
the system BIOS identifies boot devices in a PC (such as a 
CD-ROM drive, a hard drive, or a floppy drive), allows the 
user to select the boot order of these devices, and then 
sequentially attempts to boot from each device in the 
specified order.

Refer to your PC documentation if you do not know which 
type of PC you have.

BBS BIOS-Compatible PCs
To enable a BBS BIOS-compatible PC to boot from the 
network using the MBA boot ROM:

See the previous section, “Enabling or Disabling the Boot 
ROM Setting,” for instructions.

Refer to your PC documentation for instructions on 
accessing and configuring the PC BIOS.
