It is not necessary to change the boot order.
The CD Rom can remain the first boot device.
The CD Rom will be accessed, if there is a bootable CD, it will boot.
If no bootable CD, then HDD-0 will boot.

The LS120, or SuperDisk, is a drive which supports a special floppy diskette
which can store up to 120MB of information as well as being backwards
compatible and still supporting the standard 1.44MB floppy diskettes.
