Using a laptop BIOS file that is one megabyte large, the TRAILER starts at 0x100001 (1024^2 + 1).
Example of how the disassembly of the trailer looks:
TRAILER:0010 09 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 43 6F 6D 70 61 ..........Compa
TRAILER:0020 6C 20 57 69 6E 50 68 6C 61 73 68 20 2D 20 46 6C l WinPhlash - Fl
TRAILER:0030 61 73 68 69 6E 74 2E 61 73 6D 20 76 30 2E 30 33 ashint.asm v0.03
TRAILER:0040 5A 46 4C 50 46 25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 59 02 00 ZFLPF%
Facts:
- ZFLPF is found at 0x40
- len(ZFLPH) = 5
The location of the entrypoint is stored at 0x51:
0x51 =
position of ZFLPF + len(ZFLPF) + (((position where the string "Compal" starts) >> 1) - 1) =
0x40 + 5 + ((0x1b >> 1) - 1) =
0x40 + 5 + 0xc
Note that the above two formulas can be wrong.
Let's take a look at position 0x51:
TRAILER:0051 DE 02 dw 2DEh
Fact:
- 0x2de + 0x1b = 0x2f9
