Sure. Here's ours:

little-endian? false
real-mode? false
auto-boot? true
diag-switch? false
fcode-debug? false
oem-banner? false
oem-logo? false
use-nvramrc? false
real-base 0x1f00000
real-size 0x100000
virt-base 0xffffffff
virt-size 0x100000
load-base 0x4000
pci-probe-list 0xffffffff
screen-#columns 0x64
screen-#rows 0x28
selftest-#megs 0x0
boot-device disk0:0
boot-file
diag-device cd fd:diags
diag-file
input-device kbd
output-device screen
oem-banner
oem-logo
nvramrc
boot-command boot

Ours, of course, is an ANS700...well, an ANS700 motherboard, hacked
together with enough duct tape and string to keep it together :-)
