Maybe this worked under Windows, but is doesn't under Redhat 8.0. The cursor never goes to the named position. Apart from this F10 doesn't get ne to the bios.

You must reboot and press F10 wille the Compaq logo is displayed to enter the bios.

Note: My Compaq comes with an PhoenixBios

I would suggest not responding to a thread that is almost 6 years old.
