ha,
just 2 days ago my nephew got an old ibm - and i had to solve a similar
riddle. the results of my research:
some ibm´s _need_ a diskette, which may (or not) be obtained from the
ibm ftp-server.
some ibm´s require ctrl-alt-ins simultaneously at the right moment after
power-on.
in the case of my nephew´s ibm i discovered, that i had to push the
f1-key at the right moment.
perhaps some of this will work for your ibm.
