Using `biosconfig` to Update the BIOS

biosconfig configures the BIOS CMOS settings, host boot order, and some service processor settings.

Oracle Solaris OS biosconfig consists of an Oracle Solaris OS biosdrv driver and the biosconfig application.

Note - The biosconfig tool is used to configure system BIOS (also called "legacy BIOS") on supported Oracle x86 servers. Servers that support UEFI BIOS must use the ubiosconfig tool. See Using ubiosconfig to Update the UEFI BIOS.
