The most prevalent practice is to press F12 during POST stage. The exact 
timing during POST can be finicky with some devices - so keep 
CTL-ALT-DEL ing and pressing F12 immediately after the manufacturer's 
logo until the boot menu pops up.

I do have one obscure mainboard where F12 is a no-no, that changes core 
freq and ESC produces the boot menu.
