Re: meaning of "rdisk()" in boot.ini file

"Rod Speed" non-sequitured:
....have fun explaining why ALL the documentation
of the ARC path naming convention fails to mention the
hard drive boot order at all when documenting the rdisk()
parameter. There has GOT to be a reason for that.

AND its a stupid way to implement a system anyway
because the boot.ini file would have to be changed
when the boot order is changed.

ALL the evidence points to the fact that its a terminal
stupidity that has been perpetrated in the Phoenix bios
and that it doesnt get mentioned just because the phoenix
bios is by far the least commonly used of the big 3.


All I did was report reality. What does it matter what
some obscure specification says? Do you run a spec
or a PC?
