you can access the control panel at any time. if you are using a disk ][

you will have to change it for the onboard controller in case you are using

looking for or what I might be doing wrong? I've never used one

Is the system attempting to read the disk? If not, you probably need to
make some changes in the control panel. Access it by pressing
Option-Control-Reset immediately after turning on the system. IIRC, the
changes you want to make will be in the "Slots" menu, and involve which
slots are used for boot-up.
