VESA Pmode entry point

Post by Gandalf »

hi friends,

I have been trying to find the Pmode entry point in Bochs BIOS (the PMID entry point). But I don't seem they dont have it. Could I get a BIOS image on the net ??

VESA Pmode entry point is on the video card, so no you can't get a BIOS image.

hi,

I found the PMID signature by dumping the first 1 Mb using Linux and I found the entry at 0xC:xxxx (cann't remember the exact offset).
