I've seen some machines (Toshiba/Compaq?) configured to hide both the
POST screen and the BIOS setup key.  I remember one of them
particularly - it was in an offline location, so we began mashing
various keys on boot until we got something ;)  IIRC, it was not any
of the F# keys, but something like TAB then ESC.  Good times...
