I am trying to upgrade a test VMware server from OES2sp1 to OES2sp2 but I can not get the VM server to boot from the DVD (SLES-10-sp3).  I can boot from the DVD for a fresh server install  but when I try to boot from DVD on an existing OES2sp1 server the GRUB boots right to the server OS.  My only options are OES2 sp1, floppy or fail safe.  Do I need to edit the boot loader or is there a better way to update the server to OES2sp2?

Double check the BIOS settings to make sure it will try to boot from the
CD before local storage.  You can also do an update via the channel
patches and not the DVD.
