I don't need to specifically ask for a uniprocessor kernel?
I'm running in rescue/read-only mode
to keep what I've got from destroying my files.
What do I need to make writeable for yum to work?

I can't figure out how to get to the BIOS.
When I push the reset button, a lot of stuff goes by

Neither Esc, F1, F12, Pause/Break nor anything else I've
tried gets me to the BIOS screen.
