NOTE: The F2 prompt indicates that the keyboard is initialized. This prompt can appear very quickly, so you must watch
for it, and then press F2. If you press F2 before the F2 prompt, this keystroke is lost. If you wait too long and the
operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the desktop. Then, turn off your computer and try again.
