The boot sequence order of devices is the order in which your computer will boot its devices. You can usually choose from the hard-drive, the disk-drive, and a few more options.
AS DOS boot sequence is the series of steps your computer takes when it is turned on. Once the DOS boot sequence has been completed, the start up activities then go into action.
BIOS boot sequence option.
Preboot Sequence During startup, a Windows Server 2003-based computer initializes the boot portion of the hard disk and the preboot sequence begins. This sequence consists of four steps: • The computer runs power-on self test (POST) process to determine the amount of physical memory; and • The hardware components are present. • If the computer has a Plug and Play (BIOS), enumeration and configuration of hardware devices occurs. • The computer BIOS locates the boot device and loads and runs the master boot record (MBR). Note: Windows Server 2003 modifies the boot sector during installation so that Ntldr loads during system startup. Therefore you should disable the Boot Sector Virus Protection in your BIOS Setup.

When it finishes booting. (Starting Windows\Mac OSX\Linux\Other)
Reboot and press F12 (on my computer, at least) to enter the temporary boot sequence. Boot from the CD and then there you can make changes to the installation and then ultimately install the OS.
Are you referring to POST? That's the computer, pre-boot sequence called a "power-on self test."

what is computer boot sector
BIOS reads the MBR.
