Proliant bios p28 walkthrough

Hello all!

I have an ML370 G3 and I need the BIOS walkthrough. P28 ver. 08.05.2004.

Here's my problem:

I need to install a new OS (RedHat Linux) from USB.

I downloaded the SmartStart from HP and the USB Key Utility to format the thumbstick and put SmartStart on it.

I tried the USB Key utility and it hangs every time. So I used a third party utility (UnetBoot) to build a bootable thumb drive.

The machine won't boot from the USB.

USB does not show up in boot order or configuration.

I have combed the BIOS for a function to enable USB boot- no dice.

Booting from the CDRom is not an option for a couple more days (waiting for a new drive to be delivered.

Could someone provide some docs on p28? Or at least give me some clue as to how to enable USB for booting?

Thanks in Advance!

Justin
