I cannot access the BIOS on my lappy -  don't know why not. I mash all sorts of F keys throughout the boot, but Lilo always kicks in.
Some systems use DEL (delete) or INS (Insert) to load it on boot... if that doesn't help, checking out your system manual might shed some light on it (some older laptops required a boot dos floppy to access some things).

options sb isapnp=0 io=0x220 mpu_io=0x330 dma=1 dma16=5 irq=5 multiple=0
Maybe changing around these numbers might help... maybe try testing it without dma enabled? changing the irq?  Or maybe you'll need to boot up with something like "dsl pci=assign-buses"?
