Is there any easy way to read the contents of a system BIOS from userland? bios(9) seems to have some very specific kernel-related BIOS routines, but nothing generic. I'm trying to write a program that will dump the BIOS image to stdout so that I can use strings(1) to sniff out version strings and other textual data on systems that can't be rebooted and/or easily reached. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
