Change boot order of 1955 trick??

The old 1955 blades used to allow you to change the boot order from hard drive to pxe by:
 
1. Powering off blade
2. Remove hard drive
3. power on blade and let system boot until pxe fires up
4. Power down blade
5. Re-insert hard drive
6. power on blade and voila, pxe boot is still the first choice to boot.
 
The latest 1955 blade revision doesn't seem to have this "feature". 
 
Does anyone know another trick to force pxe boot so that I don't need to press F12 to boot from pxe?
 
Thanks,
Brent C.

The actual similarity relationships are closer to
RHEL3 ~ FC4
RHEL4 ~ FC5
RHEL5 ~ FC6
