Temporarily suspend bootup to be able to read screen

[Martin]

Is there a key/combination that I can use to temporarily suspend bootup so
that I can read the contents of a splash screen which appears only for a
couple of seconds? I thought Esc might do the trick but it doesn't.

Thanks.

Get out that digital camera.

You mean the BIOS screen?

If so, hit the pause key. It works on many (but not all) IBM-clones.

If it's within Windows, I can't help you with that.
