That HP has a 2meg BIOS and it is more than just the shell, but not the full 400+ functions.. I'm tired and not going into this today and of the few post that address this, the BIOS reprogram in BIOS is accessed serially (USB) as the A drive so I conclude that BIOS is B drive in DOS instuctions, but this tiny kernel preempts any drive thus I have to go through the BusyBox as a non password BIOS FLASH is corrupt.. Haven't tried adding a PW and then flashing as in the DOS instructions and I am not sure that it can be removed as if can be flagged in place. The Z820 has a bad BIOS jumper. Haven't found one on the XW board yet.
update.. Flashed successfully and it is still there.. of course, the flash is "an update".. Got to dig into the "B"
(rom) floppy drive.. using BusyBox commands.. for another day (like weeks from now)
