f 2 - and subesquently editing the boot-device
f 10 and switching the boot device

fixed - or i found the issue.

the dvd was burned on another machine.
now i try to burn the dvd on the same machine - where i need to run it

greetings

btw : probably i need a new bios.
but this may be not too easy - since the notebook probably does not run with every bios!?

what can i do here?

You can not install an arbitrary BIOS you must use one for that and only that brand and model. You might try a USB stick to install with since they are not as prone to problems as DVD/CDs
