boot container! The boot container is labelled as 00 in the
List of Containers dialog box. See Managing Containers on
page B-5 for information on determining which disks are
associated with a particular container.

Making a Container Bootable

You can make a container bootable so that the server can boot from

To make a container bootable, the container number must be set to
00 in the boot order. Follow these steps to make a container bootable:
Note:
The server will always attempt to boot from any
installed non-SCSI disks (for example, any IDE disk drive at
drive C). You must disable or remove all non-SCSI disks if
you want the server to boot from a SCSI disk or container.
