physical memory access

I wrote some information on the bios flash unused space using an eprom
programmer.
I know it's very dangerous but I can not do otherwise, and the bios
seems not to complain
about that.
Actually my system is still working after replacing the flash but I
can't read the things I wrote.
I can reference only vitrual memory because I can't bypass memory paging

(even using a kernel module).
Is it possible to disable paging? Has anyone ever heard of a C function

that stops paging or able to
access actual physical addresses? Or is there a different way to do
things?

Thanks in advance.
