Subject: Querying the bios from booted linux kernel?
Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2008 19:13:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200801041913.54030.gene.heskett@gmail.com> (raw)
Greetings;
Is there a utility that can query the motherboard bios and get a list of the
drives it can see?
Likewise, for the bios extension contained on a pny sata card with a Silicon
Image chipset on it?
I'm trying to cobble up a way for linux to boot from the drive on this sata
card, so that the F8 install is completely separated from the FC6 install on
a pata drive connected to the mainboard.
Thanks.
