You're right. I can't get the setup screen of the bios.
The error occured before/end of the bios loading so can't do a

| When you go to the sysadmin's office in the afternoon, and all is deathly quiet, there are three possibilities:

| 2) Something has gone badly wrong, and they have all left the country.
| 3) Something has gone very badly wrong, and you're missing happy hour.
