Narrative:

After pushback we were given clearance by boi ground control to taxi to runway 10L via taxiway a and then taxiway west. As we taxied out we did not receive the final weight manifest from load planning in the normal time frame so we performed the before takeoff checklist 'down to' the manifest changes line. As we continued to wait for the final weights from load planning we began approaching the intersection of taxiway a and taxiway west. As we approached the above intersection I went 'heads down' to switch the aircraft radio to tower frequency and to enter the 'address' for load planning into ACARS in regards to not receiving the final weights. After performing the two above tasks; I looked up and noticed that we were passing over the hold short line to runway 10L at taxiway a and taxiway J. We traveled a short distance past the line and then the captain stopped the airplane. We then advised boi tower that we had passed the hold short line for runway 10L.
