B-4 Bus Checkpoint Codes
The system BIOS passes control to different buses at the following checkpoints:
Checkpoint
2Ah Initializing the different bus system, static, and output devices, if present.
38h Initialized bus input, IPL, and general devices, if present.
39h Displaying bus initialization error messages, if any.
95h Initializing bus adaptor ROMs from C8000h through D8000h.
Additional Bus Checkpoints
While control is inside the different bus routines, additional
checkpoints are output to I/O port address 0080h as word to identify
the routines being executed. These are word checkpoints.
The low byte of checkpoint is the system BIOS checkpoint where control is
passed to the different bus routines.
The high byte of checkpoint indicates that the routine is being executed in
Different buses.
High Byte
The high byte of these checkpoints includes the following information:
Bits
Bits 7-4
0000 Function 0. Disable all devices on the bus.
0001 Function 1.
0010 Function 2.
0011 Function 3.
0100 Function 4.
0101 Function 5.
0110 Function 6.
0111 Function 7.

2 ISA devices.
3 EISA devices.
4 ISA PnP devices.
5 PCI devices.
