Hi Anthony,

/proc/kcore is not a raw memory image, it's actually in the
ELF object format.  Its header is 4K which displaces the bios,
so you'll find the BIOS at file offset F1000.

The following will extract the bios data from /proc/kcore:

dd if=/proc/kcore of=bios_kcore bs=1024 skip=964 count=64

to extract it more naturally use /dev/mem instead:

dd if=/dev/mem of=bios_mem bs=1024 skip=960 count=64

Cheers,
Sean
