My home page now has the following URL:

The file format document only describes the file format;
not the instruction set for Beam.

Some other useful files in OTP:

beam_lib.erl (in stdlib): utilities for reading and writing beam files.

genop.tab (in the compiler): number, name, and number of operands for
 all instructions + some comments.

To disassemble a loaded module to the instructions that are actually
executed, use erts_debug:df(Mod) (a disassembly file will be generated).
