How to activate boot-menu on ASUS mainboard P6T SE?!

Asked by Dmitry_Bond in Computer Motherboards, Hardware Components, Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: ASUS mainboard BIOS boot-menu

Hi.

Sorry for dummy question but seems there are bugs in BIOS, so I cannot findout how to activate bootmenu?!?!

By telling "boot-menu" I mean the selector of boot device. For example on gigabyte m/b I can press F12 while computer is rebooting and there will be menu - list of all connected devices I can boot OS from. Usually there are list of all HDD + list of USB HDD + list of removable devices.

So, situation is following: the mainboard ASUS P6T SE, AMI BIOS revision 0603 - seems the latest. CPU is i7-920. 2 x HDD 0.5Tb. I need to choose from which HDD to boot, it could be normal HDD inside computer or external USB HDD.
But I cannot find - how to activate the boot menu?!?!

First - it does not display on screen what key to press to activate boot-menu.
Second - it seems I have got it once - pressed lot of Fn-keys and there was a blue menu - the selector of HDD to boot OS from. But all other attempts did fail, so I 'munable to activate it once again. :-\
Browsing m/b manual also did not help - I have not found any information on this. :-(

Does anybody knows it? Could you please help?

Note: entering BIOS all the time I need to select boot device - IS NOT AN OPTION AT ALL! That is very long and inconvenient way.
And if guys in AMI really removed normal boot menu and pushed this functionality into a BIOS... :-E~ I think they are complete id...s! :-\ But hope that is not the case.
