Looking for a sanity check and hoping to hear from others with Supermicro X10SL* series server boards.
After skimming the manual and poking around in the BIOS, it seems that this board doesn't have a boot selection screen available on startup. (There are some youtube videos with unspecified Supermicro hardware where F11 brought up a selection screen, but that didn't do anything, and neither did pressing ALL OF THE BUTTONS, which usually does a thing.)
So every time I want to switch boot devices, I have to go into the BIOS, save a new boot setting, and reboot?
That doesn't seem very friendly. But then again it's a server board and they're definitely not user friendly. But then again I'm wrong a lot. Thoughts?
