How to detect EFI and get the EFI memory map?

by "whodunit" <nul@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 22, 2008 at 05:42 AM

From a pre-OS environment, meaning immediately after BIOS POST, what is the

method to detect an EFI enabled BIOS, and to get the EFI memory map as 
opposed to the BIOS E820 memory map?  The problem I am running into is
that 
the E820 map lists some ****tions of memory as user accessible, but as soon

as I write to them I get protection errors.  My suspicion is that EFI has 
data storage in these particular areas and that EFI would have told me
these 
areas are reserved.  How would I go about accessing the EFI routines to
get 
an EFI map, before any OS loader?

Thanks,
