You wrote in IRC that you found the ESCAPE key worked for you.  That's
good.

No, every PC may be different.  The function you seek is related to the
firmware of the PC.

It is easy to explain for the XO, since we create the firmware.  We
don't create the firmware for other kinds of PCs.

The firmware is also known as BIOS, and is the semi-permanent program
which is responsible for checking the hardware and loading an operating
system.

It doesn't really belong in the OLPC or Sugar Wiki unless it is clearly
marked as relating to the type of machine you have ... manufacturer,
model, and firmware version.
