What's the secret to getting into the BIOS?

[LEGOManiac]

Lets see, I've tried tapping F2 repeatedly during boot up; holding it down continually during boot up; holding it down before turning on the power and keeping it down during boot up; pressing it once and only once after the splash screen appears; changing keyboards and doing everything above again; buying it dinner; pressing F1, F3, F10, F11, F12 and DEL, just in case they changed the BIOS but didn't update the manual (or the splash screen).

Exactly what do I have to do to get into the BIOS?

Wow. What were the chances of having two keyboards on which the F2 key didn't work? The third keyboard is OK and I can now get into the BIOS. Why can't I get that kind of luck with lottery tickets?

Awesome! I hope you have more luck running it...
