There was never really a standard for the layout of CMOS nor for the encoding of floppy type. Currently, SeaBIOS doesn't use CMOS for anything when configured for coreboot mode and I think we should keep it that way. If you have a machine with a floppy drive that you'd like to use with coorboot+SeaBIOS then you can set the "etc/floppy0" or "etc/floppy1" cbfs files to activate support in SeaBIOS. -Kevin _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list -- seabios@seabios.org To unsubscribe send an email to seabios-le...@seabios.org
