Also, rephrase the documention related to laptops completely to make it less redundant and more informative. Document the laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop internal programmer parameter
Whatever happened to flashrom's semi-dependency on DMIDECODE? I thought flashrom implemented its own dmi-calls since 0.9.4, but trying Idwer's DOS-port (rev1452) and not having DMIDECOD.EXE (yep, 8.3 naming, sorry) all I end up with in VMware/FreeDOS is a "hey can't identify anything, so this must be a laptop..if not, please override".
Overriding still produces the same 'please override' output followed by a message that you're overriding, and continues. Ofcourse no single emulation platform seems to have a flashrom anyway, so stuff happily aborts.
I guess flashrom could at least continue to try reading without needing an override. Erasing and writing ofcourse do require overrides if anything is uncertain in advance.
