Did both of those.  A half-dozen times.  ;)

The machine fails to find a bootable drive.  It searches, tries PXE booting 
a couple of times, then dumps me into the BIOS's boot drive chooser.  I can 
try selecting either of the internal drives at that point if I wish, and it 
will just loop back to there.
