Getting into the bios on a Toshiba Satelite P845-S4200

Now maybe this isn't an issue for those of you who still have windows 7. Well after the windows 8 install, suddenly the machine boots up so fast, you can see the startup options.

The solution is here. Hold down the Fn+f2, the hit the power. This will bring you back to the toshiba splash screen again, and also into the bios. Locate the "advanced" tab, and the first option should read "boot speed". Set this to normal, then save changes and exit. Your toshiba will now boot normally with the splash screen, giving you the option to go back into the bios, or temporary boot menu.
