Sure can.

If you're in the correct, ancient video mode, and not using frame-buffering, or have the 64k VGA aperture enabled, and not using frame-buffering, and the OS doesn't remap your video memory to a different location.  Modern cards can map to any location, and use a hell of a lot more than 64k.

And before your command continues on and trashes the operating system.

For instance, dd if=/dev/mem of=/cock skip=10 bs=64K count=2 on my system, shows my video memory contains the very useful:

$ hexdump -C /cock
00000000  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |................|
*
00010000  ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |                |
*
00020000


despite my console having text on it (which is rendered in the alternating ATTR-CHAR-ATTR-CHAR format, in the ancient video mode).

Use the count argument next time, turbo.
