Is there something sensible in the ROM BAR? If it's NULL the
The rom bar register has a value of fffe0000. That means the rim decoder is not enabled i think.
bus_space_map() would fail. It also needs to be enabled in the BAR,
which it may or may not be already. Then pray that your chip has
You mean the first bit (bit 0) should be 1 to enable the rom. Right?
If the address is the address i gave above and the rom decoder enable is set to true (or 1), then the bus_space_map must succeed. Will try that.
separate decoders for ROM and regular BARs - the specs allow them to
share one which would mean you can not access the rest of the card if
the ROM is enabled - you're meant to turn it on, copy the ROM's
content, turn it off and run the BIOS from RAM.
Finally, I've seen laptops with no separate graphics BIOS at all...
have fun
