Compaq ProLiant DL580 boot menu

boothp

I want to boot a CD on the given server.

It's only booting via network.

F10 or F9 on Compaq logo screen doesn't work, neither F1.

If this is a G1 server (white/beige-colored DL580 with Compaq logos), the BIOS is actually supposed to be a special partition on the hard drive. This is installed via the appropriate Compaq Smart Start CD of the era (v5.x, I think). Without this system partition or the Smart Start CD, you won't have BIOS access.
