I seem to remember reading that the printing routine may not be
initialised until after it's too late to go into Bios setup. However I
think that letting it boot up normally, pressing Ctrl. Alt. Del. and
then going into Bios setup again was supposed to work as the print
routine would already be initialised from the first boot up.
You've probably already tried that though...
