    I tried entering BIOS with my w/M6847 using F2 as that is what it says to do when first booting... but it doesn't work?

    How do I enter BIOS?

    Is it not F1? If that doesn't work just keep pressing F2 until it gets you in the BIOS. I know after I RAIDed my 7811, I have to do the F2 more and faster now.

    What do you mean by F2 more and faster?

    Most all machines are either F2 or Delete.

    And I assume he means he has to be quicker in hitting the key. Try hitting it quickly multiple times as the machine is booting.
