I had (still have some where) a PackardBell with Phoenix BIOS. If
ctrl-alt-s doesn't work, look for and run a file with a name like
setup.com. The name may vary depending on the brand name on the box.
Originally I used a file named pbsetup.com. I knew of others that used
similar files with other names.
