Well, if anyone is interested in working on an accessible bios Intel has release their open source bios called the extensible firmware interface. Here is an URL http://developer.intel.com/technology/efi/ so eventually if some one or group takes this on it will be an accessible replacement for AMI, Award and the like. That's a long way off though because I don't know of anybody actively working on it yet.
