In regards to gx_util usage, /dev/mem will not work for accesses to the very top of memory. I believe it will not allow access to the top 64k bytes of memory. Which is fine unless you want to modify the system BIOS.
I don't understand this comment. Can somebody clarify this a bit?
In regards to the DIVIL_BALL settings. FlashROM checks to see what device was booted from (i.e. LPC, flash controller) before the flash device is identified. If the boot device is the flash controller, FlashROM has to flip the IDE/flash switch before any accesses to the flash device since the IDE interface is most likely where FlashROM and any BIOS images exist.
I don't get this one either. What does the IDE/FLASH switch have to do with BIOS?
I think there is more confusion going around, certainly in my case, than I know what to do with :-)
