I removed the 5.25" floppy drive from an AST 33 MHz 486DX computer, and now I get an error message at startup telling me to run the BIOS Setup program to change the settings. Is there any way I can access the BIOS ? I've tried pressing all the key combinations and nothing works. I have to ship this computer to a friend and would like it to appear in working order (not that it is anyway).
Thanks ahead of time for your help.

Thanks. It worked, and in fact, when I waited I could see that it actually told me to press "Control-Alt-Escape", but I was too impatient to sit there waiting for that so instead I decided to pound on the keyboard.
