Btw, if the video rom can be obtained directly from memory, why doesn't

Hi,
Do we really need to ship a specific utility just to run two commands?
dd if=/dev/mem of=${output_dir}vbios.bin bs=65536 skip=12 count=1
dd if=/dev/mem of=${output_dir}int10.bin bs=4 skip=16 count=1
Sounds like user will need to read some documentation in order to figure
out what grub

Hi,
Perhaps we could incorporate them in grub-update/grub-install, I guess
there should be no harm adding two files in /boot/grub.
Please don't. This is really corner case; I at least wouldn't want GRUB
