Abstract
An information handling system includes a storage device and a processor. The storage device includes a boot image for the information handling system. The processor determines an architectural location for a boot device for the information handling system, determines that the storage device is located at the architectural location of the information handling system, determines a unique identifier for the storage device, determines from a basic input/output system (BIOS) of the information handling system a BIOS identifier associated with the unique identifier, and places the BIOS identifier at the top of a BIOS boot order list.
