when you start the system, and as soon as the booting starts, keep pressing del key from the keyboard, then you will get the blue colored system setup, where you will find some caption for booting, there you can select floppy as the first boot device and then press F10 and y and come out of the system now at the next reboot the system will boot from the floppy.

If you don't know how to access the BIOS, turn on your monitor first and then turn on the computer. The instructions will be displayed on the screen. If they go by too fast, press the pause/break key. Somewhere in the BIOS you will see a screen that allows you to select which drive the computer accesses first.

∙ 13y agoStep 1: The first thing you have to do is restart your computer and enter the BIOS. You can enter the BIOS when you see a message such as "Press FX to enter setup" or something similar
Step 2: Now that you are in the BIOS, the tough part is finding the boot order section. Note that there are not a ton of options in a BIOS, so just go through every page if you have to until you see something like First Boot Device, Boot Order, Boot Management, Boot Sequence, etc.
It may also be under Advanced BIOS Features or Advanced Boot Options
The instructions for changing the boot order are in the sidebar, but usually it requires pressing the + or - buttons to move items up and down in the order list. The first item in the list is what will be scanned first when booting. If boot media is not found, it will try the second device and so on.
Finally, go to Exit and make sure you choose Yes to the Save configuration changes and exit now? question

You can't make a dog's ears floppy if they are supposed to be pointed because their ears, like ours, do contain bones that make the shape of them.
