Bootblock Code Checkpoint Codes

Code	Description
E0h	Verify the bootblock BIOS checksum. Disable the internal cache, DMA, and
	interrupt controllers. Initialize the system timer. Start memory refresh.
E1h	Initialize the chipset registers. Set the BIOS size to 128K. Make the 512 KB
	base memory available.
E2h	Test the base 64 KB of system memory. Send the BAT command to the
	keyboard controller. Make sure that <Ctrl> <Home> was pressed. Verify the
	main system BIOS checksum.
E3h	The main system BIOS is good. Transfer control to the main system BIOS.
E4h	Start the memory test.
E5h	The memory test is over. Initialize the interrupt vector table.
E6h	Initialize the DMA and interrupt controllers.
E7h	Determine the CPU internal clock frequency.
E8h	Initialize the I/O chipset, if any.
E9h	Program the CPU clock-dependent chip set parameters.
EAh	Enable the timer and the floppy diskette interrupt. Enable the internal cache.
	Copy the bootblock BIOS and pass control to the bootblock BIOS in the 0000h
	segment.
EDh	Initialize the floppy drive.
EEh	Look for a diskette in drive A:. Read the first sector of the diskette.
EFh	Floppy read error.
F0h	Search for AMIBOOT.ROM in the root directory of the floppy diskette in drive
	A:.
F1h	The AMIBOOT.ROM file is not in the root directory.
F2h	Read the FAT. Analyze the FAT to find the clusters occupied by the
	AMIBOOT.ROM.
F3h	Start reading the AMIBOOT.ROM file, cluster by cluster.
F4h	The AMIBOOT.ROM file is not the correct size.
F5h	Disable the internal cache. Raise the Vpp. Enable Flash write and reset the
	Flash ROM.
FBh	Detect the flash type.
FCh	Start erasing flash blocks.
FDh	Program the Flash ROM in the E0000-EFFFFh region.
FEh	Start programming Flash at F0000-FFFFF region.
FFh	Flash programming is successful. The computer reboots.
