bios parser
Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 3:26 pm
Hi,
I hope you can help me by running the following program.
The program does the following:
- Switch to 16 bit protected mode to load 2nd part of the boot loader.
- Switch to 32 bit protected mode to copy 0xC0000..0xFFFFF to 0x10000..0x4FFFF.
- Switch to realmode to store 0x10000..0x4FFFF on disk in sector 36..547.
In short this will store your BIOS on disk, though not all bioses. I 'm using this dump to test my parser which will be capable of detecting ACPI, SMBIOS, VBE3+, BIOS32, MP structures.
If you wish to help me run this floppy image on your system and send me the resulting floppy image (zipped).

i'll only use the image for information parsing. Not for reverse engineering and disassembling as that is in many cases prohibited (read illegal).
This parser will be part of the COBOS operating system.
Greets,
Rene
