Cannot get into BIOS setup

I have a new V5 IO. I installed a new BIOS for a V5 IO from Badflash. Problem is that I cannot get into BIOS setup. I have tried both the original IO keyboard and a regular PS2 keyboard. On bootup the standard "Press DEL to enter SETUP" message is displayed. No matter how many times I push DEL, CTRL-ALT-DEL, CTRL-ALT-ESC, F2, or any of the standard tricks, am I able to enter setup. The IO is functional because I am able to boot to a command prompt on C:. Any ideas???

Even though the screen says Hit Del to enter setup, it doesn't work. I have the same problem with a V5 badflash chip. You have to hold down Ctrl-Alt-Esc when you power the thing on and it should work w/any Kbd that has an Esc key. If that doesn't work, contact badflash about possibly getting another chip.
Also, I think if the Hit Del sequence doesn't work, the message should have been removed from the bios because it is very misleading.
