Boot enter bios - Toshiba Satellite 2450-401 Notebook

That a LAN boot Rom is used does not affect the keyboard entry used to enter setup.
The BIOS controls if the onboard LAN will run on boot up.
LAN Boot ROMs are used to download operating system code from a network server. So, the BIOS has priority.
The BIOS runs first, and if you enter setup by pushing the proper key for the motherboard, you can change the boot to DVD or another device (USB Stick) to troubleshoot the PC.

Press the "F1" or "F10" key when the logo appears on the screen to enter the BIOS setup.

Navigate to the BIOS menu "Advanced" using the right/left arrow keys on your keyboard.

Get to the option "Boot Order" with up/down arrow keys, and press "Enter."

Select the first boot device under the "Boot Order menu option and press "Enter."

Select "DVD" from the list of available boot devices and press "Enter."

Press the "F10" key to save your changes and exit the BIOS setup. The computer will automatically restart and then will boot from the DVD.

The BIOS information is typically found at or near the top of the POST screen for a very short time
