Usually when you have moved the block-cursor to the option you want to
change, you can change the value of it by pressing Page UP, Page DOWN, the
grey + or the grey - keys.
There is, however, no "standard" in boot sequence. I usually have it set
to C/A/CD/SCSI (different Bios), because that way I can avoid errors in
booting when I left a floppy in the diskette drive. :)

The easiest way to get that done is to boot into MSDos (not inside
windows, that is) and make sure that you have access to the CDrom.
Then you change to the CDrom (d: or e: or whatever drive letter you have
assigned to it). From there you go to the folder \dosutils\autoboot. There
you can run "autoboot.bat" which should get thing going for you.
