Can someone explain to me how it works when you password protect a
normal
bios? Where and how does the ASCII text get saved. You guys may or may
not
know where I am going with this but I have an idea if I can figure this out. If a normal bios can save a password (ASCII text) than why couldn't FILO save a kernel command line (ASCII text)?
The BIOS paasword is saved in CMOS/NVRAM. and yes, filo can. you have almost 256 bytes
Ok, now were getting somewhere. This area is also used for the coreboot CMOS/NVRAM table correct? What is the maximum bytes the coreboot CMOS/NVRAM table uses? And how many bites could we allocate for FILO to use?
