I had forgotten about that switch since its default worked fine when I
initially connected the keyboard, and it is in a very inconspicuous
location on the keyboard--out of sight, out of mind.

Now I can get into BIOS.  BIOS sees my USB flash drive as "UEFI: Lexar
USB Flash Drive 1100", but it silently refuses to boot to the iso
image installed on it.  Something new to puzzle out!
