Firmware > BIOS
----
To enter to the BIOS (actually UEFI since a few years), press DEL, F2, F12 or a similar key. You can modify the bootup sequence and indicate to boot from a USB thumb drive or a CD-ROM/DVD first (this is very useful to use [[LiveCD]]s).

If you work with very old systems, and you cannot boot a CD directly, you can use [[rawrite]] to create a boot floppy that loads the CD.
