No, unfortunately. The structure looks like this:
typedef struct /* Root System Descriptor Pointer */
{
NATIVE_CHAR Signature [8]; /* contains "RSD PTR " */
UINT8 Checksum; /* to make sum of struct == 0 */
NATIVE_CHAR OemId [6]; /* OEM identification */
UINT8 Revision; /* Must be 0 for 1.0, 2 for 2.0 */
...
So the row has to end with 00 or 02. That address looks like data inside
the KLD.

to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
