Re: rom image dates

[John Allen]

I am following a specific format used in most rom images where the date is in MM/DD/YY format starting 11 bytes from the end of the romimage.

Ron, I whipped together this little script to add the date to linuxbios.rom. Its

ugly but it seems to work.

For what it is worth the build date is already recorded in the version string
of LinuxBIOS, and is in the LinuxBIOS table. At the end of the romimage
if you include id.inc and id.lds you get the motherboard manufacturer and model
at the end of the romimage.

I would suggest simply prepending the date in the form to the data already
present in id.inc, if you want to be able to get at it that way...
