fdswap(ADM)

fdswap -- swap default boot floppy drive

Syntax

fdswap [ on|off ]

Description

fdswap tells the CMOS to swap the default floppy drive used to read boot information at boot time. For example, if your computer defaults to read boot information on drive A, fdswap on changes the default drive to drive B.

fdswap with no arguments reports the current fdswap state, on or off. fdswap off switches the drive setting back to the default configuration. Changing the drives take effect on the next boot of the system.

Limitations

Support for this functionality is only available on a small number of machines. The ROMs must recognize and interpret the CMOS flag that specifies that the floppy drives are swapped.
