	=====NVMe BIOS Option ROM (legacy BIOS)=====		=====NVMe BIOS Option ROM (legacy BIOS)=====
	Native NVMe boot capability for almost any x86 PC.		Native NVMe boot capability for almost any x86 PC.

			Easy injection trick for old SAS HBAs or Gigabit Ethernet PCIe cards with flashable option ROMs: don't forget to patch the PCI Data Structure inside the option ROM image itself.

			It's the PCIR-tagged header locate it via the pointer stored at offset 0x18 in the image (don't assume a fixed offset; it varies by ROM). Patch the declared Vendor ID and Device ID there to match your actual HBA or GbE card's real PCI ID, so the ROM passes the BIOS's validation check when it's mapped through the card's PCI Expansion ROM BAR at POST (not all BIOSes enforce this check, but many do, and it's cheap insurance either way).

			Then recalculate the image's checksum. The PCI Option ROM spec requires the sum of every byte in the image to equal 0 mod 256. Editing the VID/PID bytes breaks that sum, and a bad checksum gets the whole ROM rejected outright regardless of whether the ID matches. The conventional fix is adjusting the last byte of the image (often unused 0xFF padding) so the total balances back to zero.

			KittenLabs option ROM doesn't play nicely with the Windows installer, Windows Setup GetMachineInfo / CreatePartition routines seem to need fuller INT13h/EDD compliance than this ROM currently provides. Linux, on the other hand, worked flawlessly. Its installers and bootloaders are far more tolerant of minimal INT13h implementations.
