[lug] A very Junior Varsity Question

[Chris Wolney]

Yeah, on most Compaq's I have used, there is an actual utility that needs
to be run to get into the BIOS.  If it is installed, you usually see a
flashing cursor in the a corner of the screen-- like Andrew said, hit F10
at this time.

Otherwise, you need to grace www.compaq.com with your presense and
download a disk image for the System Utility Disk.
