The purpose of this article is to clean up the mess and positioned as a handy reference for myself and the reader as we are going through the BIOS disassembling session.

Note that what I explain here based on award bios version 4.51PGNM which I have. You can check it against award bios version 6.0PG or 6.0 to see if it's still valid. I'll working on that version when I have enough time. As an addition, I suggest you to read this article throughly from beginning to end to get most out of it.
