Bootable CD will not boot if inserted during OPTION ROM scan

Problem: During POST while the OPTION ROM scan for the on board (OB) devices and
add in PCI adapters is in process, if an bootable CD-ROM is inserted in to he
CD-ROM, the system will not attempt to boot to the CD-ROM. An attempt to
boot to the floppy was made and then the OS on the hard drive booted. No
attempt was made to boot to the bootable CDROM.
Implication: Bootable CD-ROM must be inserted before POST begins or the system is
reset.
Workaround: Reset system after CD-ROM is inserted.
Status: Will not fix.
27. Swapping bootable for non-bootable CDROM during POST
causes hang at boot.
Problem: Powered on the system with a bootable Win2k AS CD in the CDROM drive. As
soon as the BIOS began to POST add-in cards with OPTION ROMS the
Bootable CD was ejected and a non-bootable CD was inserted. When the
system completed POST and attempted to boot, the floppy drive showed an
access attempt. The system then hanged with a blinking cursor on a black
background. The boot order was set with 1)Floppy 2) CDROM 3) Hard Drive.
Workaround: Reset the system. BIOS does not rescan status of boot devices upon
completion of POST.
Status: Will not fix.
