Comment (by axeld):
In theory, the BIOS has a method to pass that information to the boot
loader. However, bonefish is right -- I haven't seen a BIOS yet that would
actually make use of its documented abilities.
The only way to implement something like that would be to add that
information to BFS on mount. That way it could easily be out of date,
though, if you copied in a image to some place. Not sure it's worth the
trouble. Maybe just adding the BIOS ID however cryptic might help
differentiate those.
