Can you choose the boot media by any chance - the BIOS seems a little
restrictive in that it doesn't let me set the CD followed by the HD* -
if there's an option I can get to on booting up, it'd be bloody handy
:-) (getting a backup c/o the Acronis boot CD etc)

* I know there's an option for CD / Net / HDD, but if I start the
machine with the network cable in, it goes on a DHCP hunt for several
minutes without bothering to boot...

(I did find the manuals and service data on this thing, but they tell
you very little by way of anything really useful !)
