Bluetooth keyboard in bios help

I recently setup an HTPC rig dual booting windows 7 and xp. With my Logitech PlayStation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Pro keyboard that is bluetooth only, its works perfectly up to 20 feet away without issue.

However, when the pc reboots, i cannot boot from a cd or enter bios, they keyboard is only recognized when the os is loaded, otherwise i'm forced to grab to ps2 keyboard for and dos/bios commands.

Is there anyway to make the bluetooth keyboard work at bootup without switching to a usb one.
 
bluetooth is too high level for this type of thing. It took long enough (back in the day) for USB keyboards to get access built in.

think about it, under windows (or whatever OS) you have to have a bluetooth software stack to run the BT module, plus the pairing ect that has to take place. Bluetooth isn't common or standard enough at this point, either.
