I ran across the ABIOS source tree on the freely available MACH distribution at the CMU anonymous
FTP site.  Since MACH and FREEBSD have kernel ancestors in common, it might be possible to
leverage that work with minimal effort.  Only sticker might be copyright issues; the source
appears to have been done by IBM as thier contribution to the MACH effort.
