You get a few seconds "grace" so long as you're quick. The CMOS did keep the settings and the clock is still right.
I did go into the BIOS first thing (It's the <del> key during POST on this machine) to check the boot sequence was correct. Most of the rest of things are at the defaults anyway.
The quirk on this system is that HDD channel 0 (first IDE) slave is the CD drive, channel #2 master (first SATA) is my data drive and channel #3 master (second SATA) is the SSD boot drive. I left it like that after transferring the installed OS and apps from an original IDE drive in channel 0 master.
This is why when the CMOS defaulted it went for the first drive it could find (#2) and failed to boot from it.
