If you have multiple, bootable partitions, the Change Drive Order button is a useful feature.
Select this button if you want to change the order in which hard drives are booted.

master boot record should go on a SCSI drive.
You can choose to add kernel parameters (which may be needed if your computer can??™t

your computer from booting, you can add a kernel parameter to disable it (for example,

was once required to boot from a partition on a disk that is above cylinder 1024, but is
now rarely needed).
