Doesn't matter!

IOS = stored on the wii in a seperate place where you can access it from hbc

boot2 = on startup when you boot your wii (hence the name bootmii)

However many developers will tell you that it's better to have it on boot2 so that if your system develops a semi-brick you can fix it easier as you have access to hbc

ok thanks, i installed it as boot2

It DOES matter. If you can install as boot2, it is advised that you should, as this gives you near unbeatable brick protection.
