Thinkpad boot-up.

If it's like all the older thinkpads I've seen, hold down one of the function keys while turning on the power, you'll get some test and configuration screens. One will give you a list of devices you can boot from.

On my 560, the options are boot from floppy, network, Pcmcia card and hard drive. CD-rom might be in there for machines that have one and would be the easiest option.

hope that helps a little....
