How does bootloader determine default kicklayout config?

[Reth]

Hi everybody,

unfortunately I cannot find appropriate information regarding this topic anymore. Already looked for it inside this forum as well as inside other fora and my emails.
Maybe somebody here can give me a short hint or link regarding this question?

Setup is: One partition (non-bootable) including a kicklayout file inside a kickstart dir together with another bootable partition also equipped with a different kicklayout file inside a kickstart dir. None of these kicklayouts has an entry labelled Default! Both partitions reside on the same IDE HD. First one is the non-bootable one described above followed by the bootable one (so same order as I introduced their kickstart setups).
During bootup both configs are displayed in the order I introduced them above but always the 2nd one is set as default. Inside both kickstart dirs the entry for bootdevice is set to its appropriate partition.
How can I bootloader tell that the first config I described should be the default one?

Many thanks in advance and

Best Regards

The 2nd one is on the bootable Partition so its the default one.
if all two configs are on bootable Partitions the firstone will be the default one.

For load diferent Kickstart i use inside the Kickstartlayout-File a default one (my prefered Partition) and a second (my Test install).

Path ONE=Kickstart
Path TWO=Kickstart/TWO
