Are there any sluggers with experience of these beasties who can tell me
the magic needed to change the boot order? I am hoping that if I can put
the CDROM before the HDD I may be able to boot from something like the
System Rescue CD or similar.
It's a Dell BIOS with the BIOS configuration password set.
Use Alt-P to go through the BIOS configuration pages, use
the arrow keys to go down to the configuration password
and enter the password. Then use Alt-P to go back to
the boot order page and alter the boot order.
If you don't know the password then you're in for a ride.
Dell will take a service call. Otherwise it's disassembly
