END key while bios seems to have failed

Hi eveybody

I have an old computer that wasn't booting anymore, telling me
"checking nvram..update failed". I wasn't able to press the delete
key, wasn't responding. I tough I had to put that computer in the
garbage (old pentium 166).

But I find out that while I put power on, if I was holding the INSERT
key and/or the END key, it has put all default values in the bios and
I was able to reconfigure my BIOS!

This is a very cool way to recover a BIOS wich the settings prevent to
go back in the BIOS config page. Hope it will help someone else!
