OK. Her you go. It's taken me some time to get any shots
that are readable -- I don't have a very steady hand. :-(
Anyway, I haven't touched them. They're just as my phone camera
produced them. Because of their size, I've packed them all up.
I'm afraid I don't know their exact order. Hopefully you'll
know by looking at them. :-)
They're located at: bsdforge.com/efi-memmap.tar.xz

Thank you very much for all your time, and attention to this,
Dexuan! And sorry for my frustration.
