I have used F2 to set my Dell to boot from a CD instead of the A: drive
since my image program is on a bootable CD. On top of that, I stand less
chance of getting something from an infected floppy left in the slot
during boot.
I am taking for granted that even if my OS goes, I can still use F2 or
F12 to access the bios and change it back to a floppy being read first
if needed.
Is my reasoning correct?
Any downside to doing this?
