     FDSWAP(ADM)              XENIX System V               FDSWAP(ADM)



     Name
          fdswap - Swaps 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 takes effect on
          the next boot of the system.

          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.
