bios_extract works well for mainboard BIOSes from the three major BIOS
companies Award, AMI and Phoenix before EFI started to get common. But
bios_extract is not usefull for PCI option ROMs (like you find them on a
NIC, for example). The format of PCI option ROMs can be found for
example in the Appendix of the BIOS Boot Specification (which is
available copious times in the Internet).
