Many newer BIOSes offer precisely that option; for example, my Award BIOS
dated 03-18-99 does.  Perhaps a BIOS upgrade will include that option.
Check the motherboard maker's Web site to see if they have any BIOS
upgrades available for your mobo-BIOS combination. If they do, you can
then email them to inquire about that feature.
   Keep in mind that mobo makers can and do determine which BIOS features
you are able to access.
