A method for configuring a data processing system that contains one or more first nonvolatile memories, one or more second nonvolatile memories, and processing resources that support at least first and second operating modes, begins with activation of the first operating mode. One or more secondary configuration routines that utilize a second operating mode are then found within the one or more second nonvolatile memories, and a list that identifies those secondary configuration routines is stored. After the list is stored, one or more primary configuration routines which utilize the first operating mode are located within the one or more first nonvolatile memories and executed. Also, all of the secondary configuration routines that do not correspond to any of the primary configuration routines are demarcated. Thereafter, the second operating mode is activated in lieu of the first operating mode, and the demarcated secondary configuration routines are executed. In an illustrative embodiment, the primary configuration routines are obtained from system memory, the secondary configuration routines are obtained from adapter memory, and one or more of the primary configuration routines are executed in lieu of one or more corresponding secondary configuration routines.
