What one ? Apropos bug: Stefan, when do you want to put a new devbios
version on the net, here is my patch (against 0.2.100) again (I'll post
it here cause it's small enough and if some people are brave enough to
flash OpenBIOS sometime soon they should be sure they don't run into one
of the bugs and cause their system to hard-reboot half-way of flashing
a new BIOS(as this is definitely _no_ good time to reboot)).

I am currently reading the 82371 / 82430 documentation, perhaps I'll be
able to write something tomorrow, but my 3am code is not that good normally.
