This question is highly dependent on the specifics of your hard drive. Some hard drives have jumper set ups where theres a setting that has no jumper. If that's your type of hard drive then there should be no issue. Either way the computer should boot regardless of jumper setup. It just may not be able to load the Operating System.

What is meant by jumper setings?

On a hard drive, you have options to set a jumper. It is a plastic piece that contact two pins on the plug side of the hard disk. This jumper specifies if the hard disk is Primary, Secondary, or Cable Select. If you select Primary, this is telling your computer to boot from this disk (Usually containing the operating system). Secondary is telling the computer that this drive is only for extra storage and cable select means your computer will determine based on the order of which it's plugged in. (Not recommended if you know what the drive is going to be used for)

What CMOS setup change could be made to prevent a computer from being booted?

There are likely several CMOS settings that will heep a computer from booting. One of the most obvious is the password setting. If you make it require a password to boot the computer, it won't boot. Then there are the hard drive settings. If you disable the hard drive or the hard drive ports, then the computer won't boot. Then there are settings that should never be used for this, such as setting the memory and CPU clock to very unreasonable values.
