Hi

I have see, that qemu uses a quit old bios.bin from bochs.
Is it possible to use a newer one? I have tried, but get errors.


The is a other very very slow emu called faumachine.org so for fun I have tried there bios, because
it is a bios where you can change things at boot like in real world.
But if I try to use it I get a SegFault :(
Any ideas?

Jens

Why would the current BIOS matter anyway? It seems to be fine.

Hi,

I am relunctant to upgrade the BIOS because it is likely to introduce 
regressions. I do it only when problems related to it are signaled.

Regarding configuration in the BIOS, it does not seem very useful yet, 
and the FAUmachine BIOS may use FAUmachine specific configuration I/Os.

Fabrice.
