How do I open the boot menu?

This from Lenovo:

While the "To interrupt normal startup, press Enter" message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key. The BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If a password prompt appears, type the correct password.

    I want to uninstall 12.04 and install Ubuntu 13.04 instead.

    When I was installing Ubuntu 12.04 from Windows 7 opened the boot menu F12.

    I have read that on Ubuntu to enter the boot menu I have to press F2 or Fn-F2. I have tried both ways but it still doesn't open the boot menu.

    So, how can I open the boot menu on Ubuntu 12.04?

    Note: I'm using a Lenovo ThinkPad X120e.

      The BIOS exists outside of and before any OS, so there is no "on Ubuntu" part to entering the BIOS.
