Hi everyone, I have a test machine that I have just formated and re-installed everything, but the fool that I am think I have set the boot sequence wrong and now I can't even get back into the Bios to change it. All I get is power up but nothing seems to kick the drives into action, and I just have a black screen. Is there any reset switch or jumpers that I can reset? The board is:
AMIBIOS 686, American Megatrends BE89184 (1995)

I really need you help with this one...

howdy godfather,

look here ...

... especially this section ...
"
You can bypass the extended CMOS settings by holding the [INS] key down during boot-up. This is really helpful, especially if you bend the CMOS settings right out of shape and the computer won't boot properly anymore.
"

hope that helps,
lee
