F10 and F12 don't work. I found a softpaq for the configuration utility when I press F10, but its on floppy disk, not the hard disk. I want it so I can enter it on start up without having to use floppy disks.

The CPU i'm trying to put in is a i486 chip (I think, could be a i686 chip), and the motherboard uses a i586 chip.
Any way of turning the motherboard to i486/i686 or just making the CPU work on a i586 motherboard?
