Bootblock Recovery Code Checkpoints
The Bootblock recovery code gets control when the BIOS determines that a BIOS recovery needs to occur because the user
has forced the update or the BIOS checksum is corrupt. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur
during the Bootblock recovery portion of the BIOS:
