Re: HP 720 workstation boot from CD

[cfj@cefetgo.br]

Joel, 

I have a graphics console in my workstation. And you?
My autosearch and autoboot ISL's options are OFF. Are there OK?
In front of my console there is some leds. There is a green button with 
label service and a green led too. Is this option has to be on or off?
When I press the TOC button (white) the copyrigth HP company and memory 
test message are showed and then the message selecting a system to boot. is 
showed too. I pressed the ESC key for very long time (10 minutes) and 
nothing :-(
Is there any other keyboard (or combinations of keys) that generate the ESC 
key code? I am not finding the correct time of the PDC boot to generate this 
code. How can I discover this correct time?
