Abstract
A method for deterministically booting a computer system having redundant components includes the step of selecting hardware and software components. The selected components are booted in a manner consistent with traditional computer systems. If the boot fails, a different set of components is selected and an attempt is made to boot those components traditionally. In one embodiment, the hardware and software components are a processor and an input/output controller. A corresponding apparatus is also discussed.
