Thanks Netvista Novice -Boot Hidden Boot Sequence
Thanks to Netvista Novice:
I have two NetVista 6794's(used for Amateur Radio)
The second unit would not boot properly from the hardrive. Never would have found it until I came across this thread. I spents months on "squirrly" boot methods: F12,Then F1 to F12. LOL Then to f10 to save.
It is on the Hardware set up in the Bios. Selected the "White Bullet heading", and bingo there it was.
Thanks Netvista Novice - Cudo's brother you really saved me a lot of grief. LOL
Have a good week and again Thank You.

From what I recall, the problem is that the menu option (with a tiny white "bullet") appears to be a title/heading, and not a selectable/editable option. It is set apart (and above) from the other options on the same screen, like a menu title/heading. If you <enter> on the "heading", it opens up to an embedded menu allowing you to change the boot sequence.
Good luck. I hope this helps; albeit a little late for you folks. I came across this msg board when trying to solve my problem, and thought I would register and post my solution.
BTW, gotta love the guy who thought up the idea of a vertical bay drive. IBM Innovation. |
