Peter;
You can download/ view the RC440BX manual here:
ftp://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/rc440bx/71383201.pdf

cut and paste the entire url if it is cutoff.
Look on pages 48-49 of the .pdf file for the cmos jumper block location and
settings.
"normal" - jumper on pins 1-2
"configure" - jumper on pins 2-3 ...the board will automagically boot into
setup
"recovery" - jumper removed , and is used to recover a lost bios from a
floppy.
I have used recovery a few times, to bring "dead" intel boards back to life.
