I tried the usual f2 ...

I think F10 is the BIOS access key on the 1500 series; try that. Remember that you only have a window of a couple seconds to hit that key. if you don't press the key in time, the system will continue booting normally and you'll have to restart and try again.

Once in the BIOS, the boot-order settings should be in the System section of the setup pages.
