Could anyone tell me what determines which drive/slice/etc
the boot loader will chose to boot off of, apart from the /boot.config
file, which it can't seem to find? Does it check the BIOS to
determine this (i.e. boot drive 0,1,etc) and can the BIOS give
a message that the boot blocks misinterpret?

Thanks in advance.
