ABSTRACT:
A method, system and computer readable medium containing programming instructions for booting a computer system having a plurality of devices is disclosed. They include provisions for initiating a boot sequence in the computer system and determining whether a device of the plurality of devices is either a bootable device or a nonbootable device. If the device is a nonbootable device, a clean restart of the boot sequence is performed, wherein the nonbootable device is bypassed during the clean restart.
