I have installed a Kali Linux VM in Proxmox 8.3 and I cannot seem to set to the BIOS.

I want to enter the BIOS to change the screen resolution, I have a 2560x1600 Monitor I am conducting a Cyber Security LAB and the default screen size is too small.

When I enter the "Esc" key i get:

SeaBIOS (version rel-1.16.3-0-ga6ed6b701f0a-prebuilt.qemu.org)
Machine UUID b34c6585-e551-4b00-b8d0-e7503f2bdd01
Select boot device:

1. virtio-scsi Drive QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 2.5+
2. iPXE (PCI 00:12.0)
3. Legacy option rom

If I press "TAB" nothing happens.

I have tried to press "F2" or "DEL" keys on boot but can't enter the BIOS Menu.

I have tried to add a delay using VM --> Options --> Startup Delay = 10, and the boot is still near instant.

I done a standard VM setup (Only Changed CPU, RAM, HDD etc) is there any special settings I need to enable to get the delay to work of get the BIOS to activate using the "F2" key or "DEL" key?
