I used the program below to get a copy of Bios rom on a National Geode / CS5530
board. If I remember correctly this code depended on the chipset decoding the
rom at this specific address range, the 'standard' address range was
0xC0000..0xFFFFF but not all the Rom was available here. If you wanted to write
to the rom then it needed some other chipset bits set correctly as well.
You could also take a look at the
linux-2.4.19/drivers/mtd/maps/{netsc520.c,sc520cdp.c}.
You could probably acomplish the same with the right 'dd if=/dev/mem of=bios.rom
...'
