(well usually anyways!)
The computer will start up faster if you configure it to look for the hard drive first, but if you are trying to do a rescue on it then having it look at the floppy, then CD then hard drive is the best way. Just depends on what you are wanting to do.
If you often boot from the floppy, then keep yours the way it is, otherwise by changing it to look for the hard drive first will get your computer up and running a bit faster.
