Erm, I just (as in, this week) upgraded the BIOS of a batch of DL160 G5s

nice. for a lot of models, they make available a dos/win exe
that produces a bootable floppy image. kind of a pain.
Indeed.
being able to check and interpret bios settings (from the normal OS)
would be a major advantage. being able to set them would be very nice
as well, even if the change didn't take effect until the bios ran again
(next boot).
I cannot second this heartily enough. Somebody please write this tool.
I'd even settle for a reliable way to clone a BIOS image (custom settings
and all) from one machine to the rest of the batch.
