I thought that all modern BIOS included support for the on boot function "F11 - Invoke Boot Sequence Menu".

I am now told that this is not the case and that many new motherboards do not support the F11 on boot option. In addition I have also been advised that some current BIOS versions have no on boot option facility at all and that the only way to change the boot sequence is to actually change the settings in the BIOS.

Can any Forum member confirm (or not) that the above is in fact true.

Each bios is different. Many high end boards have what you describe. I am working on one right now loading os. Most boards that come with the pre-built big box systems will not have this option.

BTW even the key to use is different ie on the one I am working on now it is F2 to access a quick boot menu. Opps it was F8; just saw it on a reboot.
