This looks like something falls in the firmwares roll of setting up hardware into a sane and useful state. Especially as things like setting the FSB etc seem (from 10000 feet) to require mainboard specific knowledge. Beyond that is why I really like having two copies of LinuxBIOS in my ROM chip because then recovery really is just restart the machine. You get the fallback code and everything works. You reflash the other image, or you change cmos settings to get the normal case working again. Eric
