Is there a way to identify which disk the BIOS is using to boot from

view the BIOS settings?

The situation is this, I have a machine at a remote location where the
system runs RAID-1 and both disks (0 and 1) can boot the system, I
need to rewrite the boot sectors on the disks and I don't have easy
access to the machine so I have to be careful as to which order I do
them.

Thanks, Jeff
Hi Jeff,

Try installing dmidecode.


Sounds like a good suggestion, but where in dmidecode output do you find
the disk that is used for booting.
I was under the impression that a server machine offers more detailed info than the usual desktop (via SMBIOS), but if I'm mistaken, all apologies. I don't have access to a server
to test my presumptions, though.
