I have gotten to the point where I wan to solve the resolution by
installing v-12 on my 500 GB SSD. However, although the CD/DVD drive is
first in the Boot Menu, the system ignores that and boots into the Desktop.
Suggestions, please?
It could be the BIOS is being obstreperous, or the media could defective in some
way. To force an attempt to boot from removable media instead of internal
storage,
BIOS provide a BBS hotkey. These depend on the BIOS, typically by brand. Among
the
possibles:
ASRock F11
Asus F8
Biostar F9?
Dell F12
eCS F12 or F10
eMachines F10
EVGA F7
Gigabyte F12
HP F9 or ESC or ESC,F9, or F10
Lenovo F12 or F8 or F10
MSI F11
Toshiba F12
Proper timing of key strike varies, but must occur before POST completes.
Thanks for the reply.
F8 works.
I placed a Debian12.iso in the CD/DVD dirve. Here are the results:
CD-ROM Device dfriver for IDE (Four Channels Supported)
(c) Copyright . . .
Driver Version: : V340
Device Name: : BANANA
No drives found, aborting installation
Device driver not found: 'BANANA'
No valid CDROM device dfrivers selected
Now I'mm really getting into unknown territory.
