Hello All,

I have the Arima HDAMA server.
The BIOS can be found here:
http://www.arimacorp.com/server/Product/ViewDownload.asp?View=HDAMA%20rev.G

I want to extract the VGA.ROM but I can succeed.
I have been following this instruction:
http://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support

When I execute this command: cat /proc/iomem | grep 'Video ROM'

Nothing is returned. When i check via command: cat /proc/iomem
I also don't see anything that is related to the display.

I have a feeling that the reason why I don't see anything is because the
VGA BIOS option ROM isn't loaded in RAM?

I've also tried the phnxdeco tool. I don't see any modules that can be
extracted when I use this tool.

phnxdeco hdmag217.rom -l
