Hello all, I intend to create a boot floppy that after booting will detect the hardware devices connected to the system. I heard that it can be done by reading the data from the CMOS ( i am not quiet sure of this) or Can it be done by using some BIOS interrupts? Are they any other ways of doing it. Please, guide me... links to pages regarding these things will be very helpful. Thanks , Saikrishna M. -- I love Freedom -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
