Hi. VMware and bochs provide the capabilities to simply change their system BIOS. In VMware and Bochs you can set a filename for the BIOS that the Emulator/Virtual Machines shall use. More about: "VMware/Bochs<-->BIOS development/Option ROM development" can be found here: http://etherboot.org/wiki/vmwarebios There are also two links inside the article which refer to the VMware forums. You should visit the links too.

Is there an emulator that we can use for development and testing? Something that i can customise with registers to look like my motherboard?

-- things i hate about my linux pc:

1. it takes more than a second to boot up 2. keeps asking about filenames and directories 3. does not remember what i was working on yesterday 4. does not remember all the changes i have ever made 5.cannot figure out necessary settings by itself --
