Have you already tried holding down one of these keys on bootup:

DEL, ESC, F1, F2, F10?

And what does your manual say?

Freedom's the Answer.
What's the Question?

No work. All keys seem to just give me:

Select proper Boot device

Insert Media in selected Boot device and press a key.

(Thank for responding by the way.)

I've tried all those keys and many more. It's gotta be a CTL or ALT combination. I have no 'manual' just the assembly poster - which actually was quite helpful during assembly - the photos were worth 1000 words.

Hammering on the Del key did it. The trick is that there is a very short time window after you turn the machine on for the keystroke to be recognized - seems like half a second. (See below)
