Boot from CD

[Jonathon Olson]

Dan,

Pg 34 in the manual states the boot menu is accessed by the ESC key and
BIOS setup is accessed by F2. Sometimes the CD is just a bad burn though,
will it boot on another computer? I usually burn at lower speeds than my
burner is capable of to help avoid errors in the burn process. I tried to
attach the manual but it was too big to avoid moderation by the list admin.
Here's a link to the manual instead:
