ABSTRACT:
A BIOS system and method to initialize the platform hardware components of a computer system. An object oriented abstraction of each hardware component, the features of the hardware component to be initialized, and the initialization setting for each feature according to a common syntax is input into a BIOS database. An order of initialization is determined based on the initialization dependencies of each component. At initialization, the abstraction for each component is passed to the driver of the component wherein it is interpreted by the driver.
