After having reanimated the old system and after comments of other persons I would not be inconvenienced if the option went away. The system indeed did not boot correctly without that option, because the disks appeared in a wrong order. On the other hand, I was able to (re)install bootloaders (grub as well as lilo) and after that did not need the option any more. Unfortunately, after that I was not able to reproduce the initial situation where the option was needed.
