This is the same for the NWS-3410, with switch 4 selecting the OS
booting device (OFF=disk, ON=floppy).
Switch 5 is also useful in recovering a working system where the root
password is unknown. (With the standard single-user trick of
remounting /etc as read-write and moving the password files out of the
way).
