Hi folks,

I've been wondering for quite some time to what device (or whatever else)
the following line in my dmesg.boot refers:

orm0: <Option ROM> at iomem 0xc0000-0xc7fff on isa0

The description "Option ROM" somehow doesn't help me to understand what
this line means. Furthermore, though I'm not 100% sure, I think that I only
get this line in the dmesg.boot on a few but not all of my machines, but I
have been unable to find a "pattern" as to what differs between the
machines that show the line and those that don't.

So, if anyone has an explanation what orm0 is, one more mystery would be
solved ;-)

Greetings
Nils
