Re: ML370 Startup
What is the generation of the server?
What is the controller installed in the server?
How many drives are installed in the server?
Here's what you can try:
1. Try checking the cables for the hard drives.
2. Try updating the system ROM to the latest if this is a generation 1 server from here:

Smartstart CD would diagnose the issue with the controller only if it is a smart array controller.

Re: ML370 Startup
If this is a G2 or above ML370 server the BIOS can be entered by pressing F9 once prompted. The boot order can then be changed from the menu. It sounds like you have a G1 server however.
The original generation 1 ML370's would have a system partition (for diagnostics and BIOS configuration) if built with a Smartstart CD. To access this you would wait until the system goes through POST and the cursor jumps to the top right of the screen (after you hear two beeps). While the cursor is at the top right of the screen you press the F10 key which would take you into the BIOS menu - booting from the system partition instead of the Operating System partition.
I appreciate that you may not be able to do this if the logical drive is faulty but it sometimes works even though the operating system in inaccesible.
From the main BIOS menu you would choose "System Configuration" then "Power On Defaults" then "Set Standard Boot Order".
This can be changed to "A: CD: C:" -normally listed at the top.
If the system won't boot the diagnostic partition then you will have to make up a set of System Configuration Utility disks and boot from floppy (which should work).
You can then make the chages suggested above. The floppy SCU kit is available from here (4 floppy disks required).
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/13227.html
Have you tried removing the disks and reseating them? Good luck in any case.
I hope this helps.
