Or you can use -t in boot0cfg to make timeout equals to zero. If after it you STILL have "F1" -- you probably boot from another drive: not da0 but da1. How many drives do you have? Check your BIOS settings to find which drive you boot from. Ilya. On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 3:48 PM, Michael Klapheke wrote: > Hi.
