This is a Compaq PC which, in Compaq's infinite wisdom, has the grossly over-complicated GUI BIOS configuration on a special hard disk partition. This is accessed by pressing the F10 key at boot time This is okay if you know about it and only install Windoze or other proprietory software, but it seems installing Red Hat Linux has stopped this partition from being accessed. If this is the case, there is no way to configure the BIOS, except by using Compaq's software on a floppy or by re-installing the software from the floppy on to the special hard disk partition.
