    The BIOS are locked some how. There is no key that will work. F10, nope. F2, nada! Esc....forget it!! It just keeps booting!!

    There are utilities you have to d/l from Comcrap that create a diagnostic partition & load software that make BIOS accessable. Had the same troubles on a comcrap armada yesterday, but I cant tell you the exact links because they change the tools depending on the family of your 7800.
    There were 2 floppies one called diagnostic & one set up.
    Even more fun if there is an OS installed you need Partition Magic to push the OS back a bit to install the diagnostic partition. After you have that on the drive at boot you'll see a cursor in the top right corner and hit F10 & your in.
    google armada 7800 diagnostic &
    aramada 7800 setup

    Also Function & f11 is supposed to reset bios... hit that and you may get 'save changes' or 'continue on' options
