If it is an AMIBIOS then;
*Page Up/Page Down* change the parameters/settings
(may be described as PgUp/PgDown)

If not, then try '-' & '+'

Many older computers can't boot from a CD. If "CDROM" isn't
listed, try creating a boot floppy with CD drivers.

Floppy-drive > CD-ROM > HDD this gives max convenience
With floppy first you can load 'drivers' for the CD-ROM-device or any other
device.
With CD-ROM second, then you can run the machine from a CD-ROM if required.

However above presents a security-flaw in that another person (hacker) is
allowed same said convenience.

Try using the arrow keys to make your selection, then press
"Enter". Then press "Esc". If you are asked about saving
the new settings, type "y" and press "Enter".
