Steve,
  Here is a chuckle, Google for your exact title of this post and the 
third hit is this:

Linux Installation notes - *Toshiba* *Tecra* *550CDT* laptop 
<http://www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/%7Ejwoithe/toshiba-550CDT.html>

Linux Installation notes - *Toshiba* *Tecra* *550CDT* laptop *...* The 
*BIOS* settings can be accessed by holding ESC during power-on, and then 
pressing F1. *...*

I think that answers the question without even visting the site :)
