I am posting this as a direct reply to H Ebony 02-14-2010 12:28 PM, but
mostly because I was wondering the exact same thing: At the re-start of
my HP Pavilion (dv6626us) there is s list of F Keys which vanish from
the screen BEFORE I can read them.  To my surprise and as stated in one
of the previous replays, the PAUSE key does in fact pause the startup so
the F Key description CAN be read, but I thought I would explicitly give
them here...
Press <esc> to enable startup message, <F1> to enter System
information, <F9> to change boot device order
Press <F2> to startup check, <F10> to enter SETUP, <F11> to System
Recovery


I too found it odd that this description of the Startup F Key
Selections could NOT be found in any of the HP Documentation or on the
Internet.. Until now.
