Isn't it possible to press F8 when the system POSTs so that a one time 
boot selection
popup menu appears?
I know this option exists on Asus motherboards and others as well. 
Maybe the option is
displayed when the BIOS displays its messages, or you can find some 
reference to it in
the manual?
That is how I usually select a boot from PXE or any other boot device 
normally not
connected/wanten.
