That'll get you around stuff like "Keyboard not detected" (or the
IBM version, which was "No keyboard present, press <F1> to continue"), or
"I have no idea what floppy drive you're talking about", but that BIOS
setting won't get you past the stuff that requires beep or LED POST codes,
like base 64k ram failure or no video card present. You have to get far
enough that the BIOS is actually running the show before that setting does
you any good.
