I promise you I’m not jocking. I might not even be joking. I probably am that dumb. It did hit me that the BIOS would be controlled by the computer itself and nothing residing on the DOM would change that, duh. I do feel the dumbs for this one, but I’m not familiar with MT routers!
The reason I bring it up is because I was having problems booting her up with a serial cable plugged in. It turns out for some reason it takes FOREVER to boot with a serial plugged in. Guess it has something to do with the computer BIOS and not RouterBOOT. I’ve been plowing through the wiki for mikrotik but it doesn’t mention anything about routerBOOT not being present on these types of setups but yea, I shoulda have put 2 and 2 together on why that would be the case instead of posting here.
Sounds like he’s trying to enter the motherboards bios setup but ROS is booting, then displaying that message – del might not be the bios setup key for that motherboard or it’s not being pressed early enough after power up
