Why would you have that boot sequence?

You would so seldom need to use the Floppy or CD to boot, that it
seems to me as just stupid to have those active in the boot sequence.

On my system I have it set to boot from Drive 0 and that is all.

If I need to boot from a floppy or the CD then I will go into the BIOS
and change it.
