Bernie, 
you're not to cooperative here.

Why not just (at least) mention the probability that there's an option
for "load bios defaults" which is supposed to optimize speed through
autoconfig, and "load setup defaults" which should be failsafe if the
previous won't work. After comparing the settings of those two options,
bios usually is a lot easier to understand.

Hit delete when the first stuff appears on the screen (or when checking 
memory, or right after the first beep or keyboard led activity, and just 
keep hitting it if no other message appears to say otherwise usually
gives acces to the bios setup, also when there's no explicit sayso.

Also check out the ide-autodetection, which is supposed to overrule ide
detections at each startup.

Some old award boards use ctrl-esc instead of del to access the bios
setup.
