	I have two different motherboards with the Pheonix BIOS and they both
support manual paramaters. In fact, they support two sets of manual parameters
which can be useful if you have two different disks which are "non-standard".
The configuration stuff is also in the rom and can be accessed at any time you
are at the dos prompt by typing CTRL-ALT-S. There is a slightly smaller amount
of setup stuff that you can do, though.
