Repeatedly press and release the key indicated to access system settings or BIOS. If the appropriate key is not indicated, you may find an alternative strategy to work. In succession, press and release the keys F1, F2, F3, up through F12 and also the Esc and Del keys</li> <li>Typically, a text screen appears with items that can be selected by pressing the arrow keys. In some cases, the selections are oriented vertically with an item like "Boot order" or "Advanced CMOS Settings". In other cases, a menu of items may appear across the top of the screen with items like "Boot" and "Power". Select the item that controls the boot device order. If necessary, sequentially select each available option until you find the boot device order</li> <li>Follow the directions provided on-screen to move the internal hard disk drive to the first boot priority position</li> <li>Press F10 or whatever key is indicated to Save and Exit</li> </ol> <p>At this point, the computer should boot from the CD-ROM when it restarts. </p> http://support.rebit.com/forum/topic/boot-fails-with-rebit-connected#post-22 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:52:28 +0000 Dennis 22@http://support.rebit.com/forum/ <p>With Rebit connected, my computer stalls during startup showing a black screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner.
