google found this

I hit like every key at the same time when the IBM logo was up and it went into the BIOS. Turns out you have no control at all, just a little picture of the different sub systems which you can click (the mouse works) and it checks them for problems, you can't actually change anyway. Bit crappy really as you cant boot from CD (but you can from floppy).

hope you do find a way!

From the testing page, look for an exit button on the lower right, that should take you to the main menu.
