STRUCT LEAPRAID_BIOS_PAGE2(9)
π struct leapraid_bios_page2(9)
okay so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the blueprint for BIOS configuration page 2 β one of those structs that holds all the boot-device gossip. bestie, it's giving "firmware talking to itself in a very structured way" and honestly? iconic. π
β¨ NAME β¨
struct leapraid_bios_page2 β BIOS configuration page 2 π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
here's the whole vibe, verbatim, don't touch a single brace:
struct leapraid_bios_page2 {
struct leapraid_cfg_pg_header header;
u8 r1[24];
u8 requested_boot_dev_form;
u8 r2[3];
union leapraid_boot_dev_format requested_boot_dev;
u8 requested_alt_boot_dev_form;
u8 r3[3];
union leapraid_boot_dev_format requested_alt_boot_dev;
u8 current_boot_dev_form;
u8 r4[3];
union leapraid_boot_dev_format current_boot_dev;
};

okay let's go through the cast of characters one by one, no skips π
headerβ the configuration page header. it's the β¨ main character β¨ at the top of every one of these pages.r1β reserved. that's it, that's the whole job.<italic>reserved</italic>πrequested_boot_dev_formβ the format type of the boot device that's being requested (you know, the one somebody's asking for).r2β reserved again πrequested_boot_devβ the boot device requested by BIOS or by the user. the ask, the dream, the goal.requested_alt_boot_dev_formβ the format of the alternate (backup) boot device. plan B energy πr3β reserved πrequested_alt_boot_devβ the alternate boot device that got requested.current_boot_dev_formβ format type of the boot device that's actually active right now. reality check time.r4β reserved, bestie π¦current_boot_devβ the currently active boot device that's actually in use. the one that made it π
