No F Key Boot Menu

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello George,

Didier Spaier here.

I couldn't find an user manual for your firmware.

However there is a support form for end users here:
https://ami.com/en/support/technical-support/
I hope it's accessible.

Just FYI with my firmware pressing F12 allows to choose
which device to boot from, but this feature has to be
enabled in some firmware setting.

Talk to you on #a11y <smile>

Best,

Didier

Instead, one must physically go into the bios and change boot order, if, for example, you wish to boot from a flash drive to install an OS. And if that flash drive is subsequently removed, the system will not boot, until you go into the bios and change the boot order, again.

What else might I look for in the bios to either (a) allow for falling back on different devices should one be removed or (b) to allow the function key boot menu found in previous bios implementations.
