I got it to run from a recent manjaro install cd & left it for 2 full passes. no problems. Ejecting that cd and rebooting I did get a grub screen 3 times, but each time I selected memtest, it reported not enough memory to run it. ??? And then I did a power down reboot & haven't seen a grub screen since. The keyboard and mouse are both wireless usb, but if it works in the bios, it seems to make sense that it should work for boot options too. It has locked up 5 times today, everytime while running LCNC. Never when I was editing code with geany unless LCNC was running and waiting on my latest edits.

[...] But I am about done for the day, after giving up on getting it to cut the hub off the raw stock, I started ripping up the flooring of the deck on the front of my shop, which after a decade under the trash from a neighbors tree that kept it wet for days after a rain, and I put a foot thru it last week. Getting dangerous so I have about 2/3rds of what it will take to replace it with treated 2x6 lumber. All Lowes had that was fit to throw in my pickup, I have to go back and get about 8 more 8 footers to do it all. And I have to do it, it sure isn't going to change itself. I even stood in the middle of it and asked for volunteers. Crickets... The sub framing doesn't look so hot either, but it will hold up some more 2x6's till after I fall over. I hope. Biggest problem ATM is the ultra cheap hacksaw blades that came with a Dewalt Sawzall. I have about 150 deck screws around the edges that are holding the balister sticks, which need about the inner end 7/8" removed, and with these blades each one seems to be good for 3, maybe 4 screws cut off. So I gotta find some better blades. Lots better if I can find them. A web search just showed more of these. :( At the cost of the blades, that is about a dollar a screw cut off. Ouch! Some days its just not worth gnawing thru the straps to get up in the morning. :( Thanks Przemek.
