right, you "fly" the birdy with the Trackpoint to what you want to access, then
left click.

Yes, each of the boxes are described with text beneath them. Left click on the
box that says "Start up" (second from the RIGHT!). In the next display select
"Power On" and and then set the BOOT order. Click "OK" to save your changes.
Then click on "Exit" to get back to the main screen.
