This is why I hate so many commercial BIOS's, and hope hte LinuxBIOS 
project really takes off. So many of such features are concealed or 
mis-set by default, and it's very difficult to reset the system 
defaults. For example, even if you reset it in a BIOS with VT or HVM 
available, you will revert to the default if you fail reboot 3 times in 
a row, and you can't reset it without hands and eyes at the console.
This sort of thing is why I prefer to stuff fake keyboard widgets onto 
the PS/2 port, rather than rely on BIOS resetting to allow the system to 
boot without a keyboard attached on so many server class systems.
