1. Check validity of RTC value:

 

 

 

e.g. a value of 5Ah is an invalid value for RTC minute.

 

 

 

2. Load CMOS settings into BIOS stack. If CMOS checksum fails, use

 

 

 

default value instead.

 

 

 

3. Prepare BIOS resource map for PCI & PnP use. If ESCD is valid, take into

 

 

 

consideration of the ESCD’s legacy information.

 

 

23h

4. Onboard clock generator initialization. Disable respective clock resource

 

 

 

to empty PCI & DIMM slots.

 

 

 

5. Early PCI initialization:

 

 

 

-Enumerate PCI bus number

 

 

 

-Assign memory & I/O resource

 

 

 

-Search for a valid VGA device & VGA BIOS, and put it

 

 

 

into C000:0.
