Might be a BIOS issue. Have you checked your motherboard BIOS configuration?
Sounds like your BIOS is halting and waiting for keyboard input from an error. If so, you need to instruct your BIOS to continue the boot process upon error (without pressing a key, etc.)
Thanks. I poked around. Turned "keyboard error reporting" to off.
Now it boots just fine (still reports sata drive1 not found, but no longer
busy waits for the F1 key........and it does find sata drive1 just fine,
after reporting the error).
Anyway it boots now. Thank you.
