Fwd: Re H8DME-2

[Daniel J. Celta]

Ok I was able to determine the ROM chip of the server.....  Thank you very
much...

Now, I did save the original BIOS information using "flashrom -r <filename>"

But, not sure I know how to rebuild back the BIOS from this file in case
needed.

Do you have any suggestions????

Thanks
