I think VGA sends out the signal sooner. Most BIOS have
delorF2for going into the bios, there's alsoF10,F1, andEscape. You could spam those keys, get into setup, see if HDMI just takes a while to turn on or if it's on until after boot.Edit: You might be able to install, leave the install usb/dvd in and boot the hard drive from the install media. There's also installing to a USB key (Arch linux)
