Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to specify the boot sequence for the
TP 560x. I.e., the if I can tell the system to try to boot of the CD,
then floppy, then harddisk.

I looked in the BIOS setup (F1 during boot), but I didn't see an
option to do this. Is there a different place to do this?

I am trying to install Red Hat 6.1 on my system and I am having big
problems using their pcmcia boot disk. It eventually recognized my CD,
but doesn't like the CD itself.

Please also mail me directly - I get this in digest form, so I
wouldn't get your answers until next day otherwise, and since I'm
stuck in the middle of this procedure, I'd be interested in your
suggestions as soon as I can get them.

Thanks,

Esmail
