Thanks for the reply. I am currently running a on a Knoppix livecd, but was previously running linux. I know it is possible to read devices in /dev, and grab information from /proc, but it would be nice if an application already would allow me to view the data for the various ROM devices throughout the system.

The system I am running is an IBM 300 GL. Its an old computer, running at only 700MHz. I know that after I have said this, you will immediately tend to believe it is a hardware problem. However, I obtained this machine only a few weeks ago, and when I got it I ran memtest on it for a few days just to make sure the memory was OK. It passed all tests.

I did not run any kind of test on the hard drive, though. I'll have to try that next.

Besides that, do you know any software that will allow you to view the contents of the ROM devices in your system? I've tried searching google, but can't find the right terms.
