Keep holding it down until the "Easy-Setup" meny appears. Oh, and Easy-Setup isn't your regular BIOS adjustment program. For that, you need the PS2 utility aka "Configuration utility for DOS". See http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4ZFPEG The Linux people have tpctl (http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/), and I vaguely remember that somebody started a similar project for FreeBSD, but I don't think it was ever finished. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
