Problem with FreeBSD 8.3. BIOS affected
Hello everybody.
I have a problem of this kind: After installation of FreeBSD, my Windows XP became unreachable. Boot from CDROM is impossible. The conclusion: BIOS was damaged by GParted or some other program. Question:
Are there any Unix means of updating (repairing) BIOS ?

pnpbios
PNPBIOS(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual PNPBIOS(4) NAME
pnpbios -- support for embedded devices on the motherboard DESCRIPTION
The pnpbios driver enumerates embedded ISA devices on the motherboard whose BIOS supports ``Plug and Play BIOS Specification''. It assigns ISA bus resources (interrupt line, DMA channel, I/O ports, and memory region) to each device and activates it. If it cannot assign necessary resources to a device without causing conflict with other devices in the system, the device will not be acti- vated and will be unavailable to programs. CAVEATS
There is no explicit way to disable individual embedded devices. The pnpbios driver will find all devices reported by the ``Plug and Play (PnP)'' BIOS and try to activate them all. There is no way to explicitly assign particular resource to a device. The resource assignment is fully automatic and there is no provision for manual override. SEE ALSO
