Approaches for calling firmware runtime services of a basic input/output system. A special globally unique identifier and a name are sent to PURE virtual variable stores by an operating system. The PURE virtual variable stores identify the special globally unique identifier and the name, for example, by checking in the PURE virtual variable stores to ascertain if the special identifier and the name correspond to a firmware runtime service of the basic input/output system. A corresponding firmware runtime service of the basic input/output system is called. The firmware runtime service of the basic input output system then executes.
