The Instant Boot Menu allows you to choose a boot device without
running the Setup program and rebooting the system. The choice is
valid for this boot only; setup preferences are not modified.
To select a boot option, press F8 when the HP splash screen is

This screen lists only allowed boot devices. For example, if the
administrator has disabled the "boot from floppy" option in Setup
program, the floppy drive will not be listed in the Instant Boot Menu.
The POST Welcome screen (HP logo) displays the following choices:
Esc — Summary. If you press Esc during POST, the BIOS
displays a summary of the configuration information before
loading the OS.
F2 — Setup
