     Hi,

     The BIOS is software  built into the PC. it  initialize and 
identify system devices: keyboard and mouse,etc. your motherboard or pc 
manual should
     have something on   how to go into the system BIOS, however, Be 
very careful when making changes. Incorrect settings may keep your 
computer from booting

     here are a few links that explains  about BIOS and different parts 
of the pc.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS

  again, that small setting like the achi man page mentions is probably  
what it needs if it is not set to ahci in the system bios:-)
