When I start PS2200, the SOS screen comes up.The dialog goes like this1

1100 Operating system MP lev: 49R4-LCL (SOS: 6.5.08a [32])
No fixed disks from previous boot.
Modify config, enter DONE when complete.
DONE
KEY ERROR

KEY ERROR
0 0-Modify config, enter DONE when complete.
DONE
KEY ERROR

No matter what I enter, I just get the response "KEY ERROR".
What should I do?
