Default Compaq Diagnostic Partition

Hey folks,
i just bought 2 Deskpro 4000 in order to use em for my network.
well, i didnt know that compaq uses a hidden partition for its bios
to save things, so i reformatted the whole hard disk for OpenBSD.
Well, now i godda do several things (Power Management etc.) and
can't access the bios (i know - F10..wont work). Well, i also
tried the Computer Setup/VP and PC Diagnostics Diskette, but both
computer wont boot from it. i also tried resetting bios, or
unplugging the ide 1 cable, but they wont boot from floppy. i
really dont know what to do. i really need to setup those computers
for networking..

Thanx for ya help
