Typically you'd tap away at F12 after turning it on, and that would
give you a one-time menu for where to boot from.
The F12 facility can be turned off, in which case you'd have to
tap away at F2 instead, which would give you access to the full
BIOS. The Boot Sequence will be somewhere in there, like (D430):
Boot Sequence
1 USB Storage Device
2 CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive
3 Diskette Drive
4 Internal HDD
Cardbus NIC
D/Dock PCI slot NIC
Onboard NIC
"Tap away" because the time window for pressing the key can be quite
narrow, as the progress bar sweeps across the screen during POST.
Cheers,
David.
