    Well if you hit TAB at the ASUS splashscreen it will tell you the F2 enters BIOS, and ESC displays boot devices (I think). But it'll only be for a split-second unless you hit Pause at just the right time...

    Like EBE said, F2 does it. If you just need to boot into another device (not your HD) for one boot, then use ESC to get a boot menu.
