Thanks Andy. I think looking for the MFTR docs and cribbing screenshots is probably the best way to go. I did that with VMWare ESXi which installs in a DOS/BIOS type atmosphere. I found a PowerPoint presentation on VMWare's website which had beautiful screen captures. I cribbed most of them!

I wondered if you had any sort of BIOS emulator, or even just BIOS mockup, for your specific BIOS. Of course, BIOS emulators are used for hacking, so searching for one and trusting to run one on your computer is far from simple. Maybe contact the BIOS manufacturer (or look in their docs for images you can crib). The only other thought I had was to recreate the BIOS screen, which should just be a lot of ASCII characters of different colors, but that might be difficult if you have lots of different screens.
