I don't think we need a separate fw_cfg file for this. If qemu provides a type0 table we can just take the date from it. If qemu does not provide a type0 table we should not have a inconsistency in the first place. cheers, Gerd _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
