But not everyone has a QuickBoot option (765L). Does anyone know what the 
BIOS will do in such a case? Since Win95 is preloaded on this machine I think 
it will be enabled.

I greped around in my kernel sources and noticed that the CONFIG_PNP option 
as well as the file "bootflag.c" exists only in the ac patches. Is this 
correct? (I only have 2.4.9)
