hit f1 to resume

Hello,

Somewhere along the way my one year old boxed 845BGL system started to
hang after post on the 'hit F12 to boot from network'. I have disabled
all boot devices except the hard drive. There is no second boot device.
Can anybody tell me how to get this dang thang to boot up without me
standing there to 'press F1 to resume'....:^) Thanks!

I have a new Dell Dimension XPS which has the 875P chipset, probably
tweaked by Dell. The BIOS is certainly tweaked by Dell. I find that
I get the 'press F1 to resume' message if and only if I have the Serial
ATA (SATA) controllers enabled. I don't have any SATA devices in my
box, either. Odd.
