As other have mentioned they don't have a bios, they use sectors on the
disk instead and load the bios/rom at boot.  I've read that some
mainframes use do the same way, but I really don't know that.

Anyway, her's some links I found while trying to get my PS/2-90 to
work.  You might find something usefull (probably depend heavily on your
model):
