Okay, now here's exactly what I did.

#sudo su

Then this command still doesn't work.
cd /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:02.0/
I don't have that directory in my system.
So I type the closest thing that seems to make sense
# cd /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0
# echo 1 > rom
# cat rom > /tmp/rom.bin
# echo 0 > rom

and I don't really get any feedback.
So to view the file I type this...
# sudo nano /tmp/rom.bin

at the contents of the rom.bin file don't look like tells much of anything
usuable. It's mostly jumbled but contains this
00IBM VGA Compatible BIOS. @$VBT CRESTLINE
and then this...
