[GLLUG] OT - Boot order HP ML110 G6

[Stephen Howell]

Sorry for late reply. The appropriate incantations usually involve setting
a 'hard disk priority' somewhere around the boot option in the BIOS. Tell
it to prioritise DVD or USB above the RAID controller and it'll boot off
those if it finds them first. This is usually hidden in a sub-option
outside of the main network/hard-disk/floppy boot menu in old BIOSes so
just poke around the boot menus until you find it.
