ABSTRACT:
A system and method for configuring devices during pre-boot in a computer system which may have both legacy and EFI compatible option-ROMs. EFI versions of the Option-ROMs export a callable interface that can be invoked to execute the configuration utility. A hardware independent piece of software lists all the hardware devices in a single menu and allows the user to invoke the configuration utility for the appropriate hardware device(s).
