This is a tiny bit off-topic for the list, but I thought I'd throw it out there... My embedded system supports BIOS extension and includes it's own local Flash memory to do so. Basically what I'd like to do is build some sort of (EE)ROM bootstrap to load my custom FreeBSD operating system. HOWEVER... All input/output must be done via COM1. I've never done much low level PC programming...has anyone attempted something like this? In an ideal world, I'd also be looking to front-end the BIOS setup screen over COM1. And, no, I can't just get a BIOS kit and re-write the BIOS :-p -marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
