That's the one that shares a keycap with "pause", right? It doesn't seem to be working. It's as if the computer isn't responding to the keyboard at all: the boot screen says "keyboard present", but "break" does nothing, the lock keys don't toggle their respective lights (should they?), and no other key produces any response (should it?). > then you can try to boot from the CDROM/DVD , if its > a Sunblade 100 > the unit is most likely a CDROM so it wont boot from > a DVD media. Unless someone put the wrong faceplate and label on the drive, it's a DVD-ROM.
