Use a recent SeaBios version and get happy with HIGH_TABLES. ;)

Does that mean you have tested "Hardware Visualization"?
If yes, please be so kindly and mark it in the wiki entry for m57sli as OK (if 
you have an account) otherwise please give some details on that, so I can add 
this as tested.

The wiki should be up to date for this board, I changed all of the entries 
which I was able to test. Hopefully we can find/fix/verify the last outstanding 
problems on v1 with that board, so that it can be stated as "fully supported".
(And maybe, when I've too much time I'll have a look at the S3 ACPI mode, but 
this could get quite hard, as the MCP55 documentation is under NDA by nvidia.)

If you have a floppy device and the possibility to test it, please do so and 
report if it works. (Otherwise I'll test that in a few weeks, as i don't have 
a floppy device here.)

Great that this patches make you happy, and hopefully everything works like 
expected. If you run into problems please report it.
