Ollie I haven't looked but do you know if there is anything comparable to
the memory initialization hassels LinuxBIOS has to go through? Or has
your experience been just dumping the correct values in the correct
registers?
The other catch that I have seen is that in addition to requiring BIOS
services, the some vga init roms also assume that some legacy hardware
is present.
