D975XBX2 - can't find some BIOS options?

I just built a new system with this board and I am not liking the BIOS setup very much. It seems somewhat sluggish moving between the menus (is this normal?) and is not very intuitive.
I want to disable the floppy as a boot device and I want to enable 'wake from keyboard' as the manual says it can do it but I have not found an option to turn this on. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your right, Award/Phoenix this is not. As for wake on KB/Mouse good luck with that unless your setup to use ViiV. The
manual is a freakin joke
Boot removable devices: try <Disable>

You hit the nail on the head when you said the BIOS wasn't intuitive.
They could have included Help comments for some of the options, like
ATA/IDE Mode [Native][Legacy], and Configure Sata As [IDE][RAID]
[AHCI].
I think they should have included all the options (like Watchdog)
in the main BIOS .

C'mon Blue, that would mean spending time on an already expensive MB $270.00~
Be realistic, only Asus, MSI, Gigabyte et al could afford such luxury items as that.

Hello the "PS/2 device activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state"
S1 State (Sleeping States) Processor stopped
S3 State (Sleeping States) S3 – Suspend to RAM. Context saved to RAM.
That said, I think you can't start the Pc from power down (shut down) state G2/S5
None the less try the following:
Power Menu
Keyboard Select -> Keyboard 1 Wakes PC from S5 State
and see if works

Heh, my 9 year old socket 7 (Asus P5-a) cold boots from S5 (all hardware off PSU off) with the keyboard.
BTW ViiV requires XP Media Center Edition. It will not even install the Viiv driver on XP.

Been there, tried that, doesn't work. As a matter of fact when returning from Hibernation the BIOS fails (yet again) to detect the PS/2 keyboard, necessitating yet another reboot.
This is bar none the worst BIOS implementation I have yet seen on a MB
