There might just be a damned good reason for that, child.

Yes, of course. Microsoft left it up to the BIOS producers
to define how the "adapter ordinal" is determined.

Like hell they did.

AND if they had done that, someone would have actually
documented the use of the hard drive boot order list for the
ordinal AND NO ONE HAS ACTUALLY DONE THAT, not even Dell.

AND its a terminally stupid way to determine the ordinal
for the rdisk() param ANYWAY, because that means that
the rdisk() param in boot.ini cant be used WHEN THE DRIVE
DOESNT APPEAR IN THE HARD DRIVE BOOT ORDER LIST
AND YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOOT AN OS FROM THAT.

Stupid is as stupid does.

You're sposed to have your sig at the bottom of your post, child.

Since you don't *know* enough to use the method, you don't use it.

Pathetic, really. Pity about the situation where you NEED to boot
an OS from a drive which isnt in the hard drive boot order list.

With that steaming turd of a bios in YOUR PARTICULAR Dell,
you're fucked, because you cant.

But Dell and Phoenix Technologies figured that there existed a smarter
brand of user who would like the added flexibility and convenience.

You're just plucked that stupid pig ignorant claim out of your arse, child.

If they had actually done that, THEY WOULD HAVE DOCUMENTED
THE USE OF THE HARD DRIVE BOOT ORDER LIST FOR THE RDISK()
PARAM. They didnt, so this is just another of your pathetic little drug
crazed fantasys, child.

I've reported my findings for *them*,

Completely useless, no one actually has one of those
steaming turds of a bios, and you originally claimed that
it applied to ALL systems, you silly little pathological liar.
