Yesterday I wanted to boot from a CD so I checked to "restart" option.
The system rebooted and at the correct point I got into the BIOS to make
sure the CDROM would be the boot device. Then when it got to the point
of rebooting the computer ended up in SuSE 10. I then told SuSE to
"turn off the computer", which it did. After powering on the computer
if booted off the CDROM. My question:

Does SuSE somehow force the computer to bypass the boot sequence set
in the BIOS when it is told to "restart"? If so, anyone know how this
is done?

Thanks for any insite
Terry
