I doubt is is the MB. I've seen some WinXX keyboards that overloaded the
function keys with WinXX features. If this is the case with your
keyboard, the a "shift" key that needs to be pressed to enable the
function keys.

For a sufficiently recent kernel, you can create an empty file names:

ALTF2ON.$$$

in the root of the boot drive.

That's very strange since the utility diskettes are going to boot to a
full screen in VGA mode.

Can you get to the ALT-F1 menu and boot to the command line.

HTH,
