BIOS Key Mappings
When viewing the BIOS output from a terminal using the serial console redirection
feature, some terminals do not support function keys. BIOS supports the mapping of
function keys to Control key sequences when serial redirection is enabled. The
following table provides a description of the function key to Control key sequence
mappings.
