[LinuxBIOS] BIOS Setup?

2007-03-20 Thread Samuel Thibault
Hi, That may be a FAQ, but I couldn't find a FAQ on the website. If I understand correctly, LinuxBIOS just initializes the mainboard and boots a payload, there is nothing like what people would usually call BIOS Setup, right? Then, how can one configure the mainboard, for disabling the
