If priority 1 is in use, then you must renumber the existing entry(ies) to ensure that at least that priority is available. The
maximum number of boot stack entries that can be contained in the boot.sys file is 10. If there are already 10 entries in

some or all of the other entries before proceeding. for more information, see
