	I have a 386sx/16 with an AWARD bios (one of the old versions
i guess) and when i tried to setup a western digital 540mb hard disk,
the disk types supported by the cmos setup program did not include
such hard drives.  Does anybody know of a way to setup the hard 
disk correctly by bypassing the setup program?  Any information
on the subject is more than welcome!!!
