The floppy drive type corresponds to the floppy drive hardware attached to the machine, so it's not something that should change frequently. Storing it in flash (as etc/floppy0) I think should be sufficient. I, personally, wouldn't recommend using cmos for anything, as using flash is notably more flexible. That said, I suppose some protocol could be worked out between coreboot and seabios. It seems odd to go through all that work for ancient floppy drives though. -Kevin _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list -- seabios@seabios.org To unsubscribe send an email to seabios-le...@seabios.org
