biosconfig alters the boot order based on the PCI bus, device, or function if the boot order list contains that information. (USB devices do not have this information, but PCI devices do.)
For example, using biosconfig -set_boot_order with this XML input moves the specified Ethernet NIC to the top of the boot list:
<BIOSCONFIG> <BOOT_DEVICE_PRIORITY> <Boot_Device_01> <PCI-B-D-F>00,19,00</PCI-B-D-F> </Boot_Device_01> </BOOT_DEVICE_PRIORITY> </BIOSCONFIG>
<BOOT_DEVICE_PRIORITY> <Boot_Device_01> <DEVICE_NAME>PXE:IBA GE Slot 00C8 v1324</DEVICE_NAME> <PCI-B-D-F>00,19,00</PCI-B-D-F> </Boot_Device_01> <Boot_Device_02> <DEVICE_NAME>IB:Slot2.F0:PXE:MLNX HCA IB 1.9.972 (PCI 07:00. </DEVICE_NAME> <PCI-B-D-F>07,00,00</PCI-B-D-F> </Boot_Device_02> <Boot_Device_03> <DEVICE_NAME>USB:Port1:Memorex DVD+-RAM 510L v1</DEVICE_NAME> </Boot_Device_03> <Boot_Device_04> <DEVICE_NAME>USB:Port0:SanDisk Cruzer Contour</DEVICE_NAME> </Boot_Device_04> <Boot_Device_05> <DEVICE_NAME>SATA:3M-MRVLRD 200254-01SUN24G 0801</DEVICE_NAME> </Boot_Device_05> </BOOT_DEVICE_PRIORITY>
