Oops. Missed Don's questions:
To get to the BIOS on the ThinkPad, hold down F1 while powering on.
This gets you to a graphical interface, with what appears to be a duck
as the pointer. Curious that. I bet is was supposed to be a swan, but
since a small spring is missing...
Anyway... once in the BIOS, you can chose whatever boot-order - that is,
unless you had a bad CD drive.
Like moi.
Still working on the Epistle to the HLLUGians about all of my DSL
install misteaks.
