[plug] Phoenix 80486 Bios

[Mike Holland]

some firmware-related questions...

I have an australian-made Osborne 486, and have changed the
HDD.
But i cant figure out how to change the bios settings.
The spacebar stops memory check, but nothing else seems to have any
effect. Does anyone know Phoenix bioses?

Also, the disk is LBA formatted, which the BIOS doesnt know. I can boot
linux from floppy, but i guess LILO cant cope with a non-LBA bios???
If i must reformat, what is the best way to wipe the partition table
and start from scratch?  "dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/hda"?

P.S. This is not my main machine, honest :)
