That's what I remember, a half page check list with the punch line being turn the FD off, then....
Change the runway in the FMC, then request runway data and load, then turn the FD on.
That really is embarrassing if they couldn't swing it in a minute. The only pain is that you have to manually request runway data and then accars has to load the runway performance into the FMC, no easy manual fallback
