Use the floating point instructions to determine if a coprocessor exists instead of the ET bit in CR0. Check Boot Type (Server BIOS) Disable onboard COM and LPT ports before testing for presence of external I/O devices. Redirect Int 15h to enable target board to use remote keyboard (PICO BIOS). Initialize interrupt controller. Run late device initialization routines. Initialize motherboard configurable devices. Display any ESCD read errors and configure all PnP ISA devices. Test and identify RS232 ports. Test and identify parallel ports. Initialize onboard I/O and BDA according to CMOS and presence of external devices. Configure Fisk Disk Controller. Initialize digitizer device and display installed message if successful. Enable non-maskable interrupts. Initialize both of the floppy disks and display an error message if failure was detected. Check both drives to establish the appropriate diskette types in the TrustedCore data area Redirect Int 13h to Memory Technologies Devices such as ROM, RAM, PCMCIA, and serial disk (PICO BIOS). Remap I/O and memory address space for PCMCIA (PICO BIOS). Initialize hard-disk controller. If the CMOS ram is valid and intact, and fixed disks are defined, call the fixed disk init routine to initialize the fixed disk system and take over the appropriate interrupt vectors. Setup interrupt vector and present bit in Equipment byte. 1. Check CMOS for CD-ROM drive present 2. Activate the drive by checking for media present 3. Check sector 11h (17) for Boot Record Volume Descriptor 4. Check the boot catalog for validity 5. Pick a boot entry 6. Create a Specification Packet Jump to UserPatch2. If password on boot is enabled, a call is made to Setup to check password. If the user does not enter a valid password, Setup does not return. Search for option ROMs. Rom scan the area from C800h for a length of BCP_ROM_Scan_Size (or to E000h by default) on every 2K boundary, looking for add on cards that need initialization.
