Still wandering how to parameter dev/bios

[Mathieu Deschamps]

hello,

I still trying to parameter dev/bios to get it open another
bios, but I just don't know. By default, insmod bios.o opens
main bios into /dev/bios. As written in the README.bios, it
is possible to open other devices since it says something on
mknod /dev/gfxbios c 104 1 and also mknod /dev/hddbios c 104 2.
Making nodes is possible by simply insmoding bios driver don't open
every bios. If anyone already get it work onto other bios, please 
mail me your way so I can study it.
Other idea also welcome.

Opening other firmware chips besides the system firmware does not work
currently. It stopped working with 2.4.x and I never got it working
again (Haven't really looked into it, though since this works fine with
mtd)
