  • RSDP_BIOS_AREA_END ๐Ÿ”’
    The end of the main BIOS area below 1mb in which to search for the RSDP (Root System Description Pointer)
  • The start of the main BIOS area below 1mb in which to search for the RSDP (Root System Description Pointer)
  • RSDP_SIGNATURE ๐Ÿ”’
    The RSDP (Root System Description Pointer)โ€™s signature (trailing space!)
