I have my x86 machine working perfect except for when it reboots, I have to plug in a keyboard and hit f1. Anyone else have to do this? Its a dell ory206 mobo with an amd sempron.

change bios setting to disable wait on f1 if error, assuming dell even presents that ever so basic "impossible to damage pc" option _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

I forgot to mention F1 prompt can also occur for things such as CPU/RAM configuration (maybe just reseat RAM), SATA port enabled with nothing connected (disable it), bad or missing fan(s) and non-OEM power supply.
This is an old machine, so the first thing I thought was change the CMOS battery.
Thank you very much for the help. Turned out that floppy disk was still enabled, now reboots without issue. I should've read the screen a little better lol.
One more thing and my pc router will be complete. I added a second wifi card to get dual band but it isn't showing up in wireless. I tried 2 different ones. The web gui only lists the one.
Apparently the card I used isn't supported. I found one that is but it doesn't transmit very far. It came out of a Toshiba laptop. I ordered another one like I already have so now it will be finished. Again, thanks for all the help.
