but is this hypothesis compatible with the fact that the BIOS _does_
boot when I tell it to boot from HD after pressing F10, see my
original message? The problem isn't that it can't ever boot.
It is that, in a nutshell, the BIOS doesn't _remember_ that I had hit
F2, told it to boot from the hard drive first and "saved" that
setting.
