Thanks for the information; I had feared this was going to happen
eventually (a PC which doesn't do the right thing when "Plug and
Play OS" was set to no).  I was hoping in Jonathan's case it would
get him going.

I believe the opinion is divided as to whether or not the BIOS is
required to do this.
