Re: problem with Grub

[Alex Thiel]

GRUB starts only after the BIOS initialization is finished, so if you see 
something like
grub>
it is already to late to enter the BIOS setup. 

To enter the BIOS menu on your machine you'll have to press some key during 
startup. Usually it's 'delete', but that may differ. Refer to the manual of 
you computer for details.

Cheers,
