set PCAT boot order as comma-separated string of boot device types (e.g: floppy,hdd,optical,net).

If less than 4 entries are added, entries are added according to their default boot order (optical,hdd,net,floppy)

e.g: passing “floppy,optical” will result in a boot order equivalent to “floppy,optical,hdd,net”.

Passing duplicate types is an error.

§pcat: bool

Boot with PCAT BIOS firmware and piix4 devices
