the system usually gives you a possibility to chose a boot device if you press
the right key. look for the "Press DELETE to enter setup/BIOS" or somethig
similar output. alongside you could find sth like "Press F10 to choose boot
device".
again, this isn't the exact outpu you might get it is only an aproximation of
what to look for!
