If you could  give us more details on the make / model number and info
on the bios (type and version) there are tools out there to crack the
bios.  It is one option.

What about using virtual box ?  I am sure you can use dd to create a
disk image file or make this in to an .iso file that can be booted by
virtual box.  (if it works this way)
