Hi Dave,

no there isn't unfortunately - I assume you mean something like the "enter BIOS 
on next boot" option in vSphere? Such a functionality would effectively mean a 
VM BIOS change, after which the change would have to be reversed to resume 
normal HDD boot, which could potentially cause issues. 

Keep in mind though once you've set the boot order in the BIOS it will stay 
persistent, and obviously only boot to ISO if one is present.
