Hi there,
I am afraid I may not answer your question. I would suggest you to try F1or ESC (no guarantee).
I have a similar problem on my IBM PII GL300, i.e. I can not get to BIOS. When I switch on my computer I have the following messages displayed:
COPYRIGHT 1981, 1998 IBM CORPORATION - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
(message in Spanish - SK)
INCORECT DISK
CHANGE DISK AND PRESS ANY KEY
If I press DEL, ESC, F1 or any other key appears '301 keyboard error' (from now on everything is in Spanish - SK). A bit later an interface appears: 'boot error(s) POST' with two options to choose
Continue
Quit configuration utility
No option where I could set to read CDROM while booting seems to be available if I choose 'Continue'.
If 'Quit configuration utility' the following is displayed
press HOME key to abort RPL

107 LAN adapter failed the media test.
Please check the cable and reboot the system unit.
If I go through options available I see in help that an option of �BIOS update� must exist somewhere which I can not find. At some place an entry for CD-ROM appears, but it is not active (marked with different color, not selectable).
How do I get to BIOS?
Thanks,
Serguei
