I think we should eliminate all unnnecessary overhead. Scanning (e.g.) 2 Mbytes of memory for each failed lookup -- all the other BIOSes are going to point at us and make rude comments :-) I really would like us to have a reasonable termination instead of searching all of memory. It can be anything -- make a file name called EOF. Carl-Daniel's design was nice because it was very flash-friendly, but I'm not picky. thanks ron -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
