Cbrom Award bios modification
I want to modify my bios to include a etherboot PCI room. For that I need at
least 10,5K free space. Below you will find the output of "cbrom mybios.bin /D" Which of these components can be released from the bios without risk flashing the computer with an invalid bios file. Can _all_ modules be removed and still get basic boot funtionality (so that one can flash another bios if needed) I can live without EPA, antivirus and ACPI functionality. Is it done simply by the use of the "Release" parameter or are the additional steps needed? Please help me CBROM V2.15 (C)Award Software 2001 All Rights Reserved. ******** newbios.bin BIOS component ******** No. Item-Name Original-Size Compressed-Size Original-File-Name ================================================== ========================== ==== 0.
