    摘要: A method and related structure for providing operating system drivers during installation of the operating system, where those operating system drivers are provided by way of a virtual disk drive. Basic input/output system (BIOS) routines are adapted to support showing these operating system drivers as residing on a virtual disk drive within the system. The operating system drivers are stored in the unreserved ROM space of the computer. Further, multiple floppy images are stored in the ROM, and the BIOS is adapted to show only the floppy image appropriate for the operating system to be installed. The virtual drive contents may be those operating system drivers stored in the unreserved ROM, but also may be physically stored in RAM.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system and related method for providing operating system drivers during installation of an operating system. In particular, the operating system drivers, that are not available with the operating system itself, are stored in unreserved ROM space. At an appropriate time during installation of the operating system, any needed or necessary drivers are copied from the ROM.

    摘要: A plurality of processors are coupled together. One of the processors may comprise a default boot strap processor (“BSP”). Further, the default BSP may determine whether the BSP has local memory and becomes the BSP for the system if the default BSP has local memory, or selects another processor to be the BSP for the system if the default BSP does not have local memory.
