Have you tried running no_f1.com on it? It disables the "press F1 to
continue" (or whatever) prompt for most problems on Compaqs. (Smaller
ones, at least -- I haven't had the need to try it on my Proliant.) If
you (or whoever takes this beast off your hands) can't find it, email me
off-list -- I know I have it. (Three copies of it, apparently.)
