Huh? Could you be more specific, e.g. where is called what? What do you need / want to achieve?

Normally after boot the bios is down and out ;).

There was a thread on this, just last week. Consensus was, that no, there is nothing for all settings (time and date can get read out though). I'll have a look and be back...
