I have a 2950 for which I created a USB DOS boot disk in order to upgrade the BIOS.

I didn't see USB in the boot options, so I selected Virtual Floppy in the BIOS Boot Order, not knowing that option was for the DRAC interface management (?)

When the system boots, it goes to RAID initialization, and after recognizing the drives, it sits there. The system is still responsive; num lock button still toggles off and on. If I select any of the F keys, it will show "Entering (Boot Menu, Setup,...), but it never enters those modes. Of course, it doesn't boot to the USB drive.

How can I get into this machine's setup or circumvent the RAID initialization in order to get to the BIOS and change the boot order? I've saved the DOS files to a CD and attempted to boot from that, but same thing. The boot order is currently set as follows: 1. Virtual Floppy 2. CD 3. HDD

Thanks if you can help.
