But please note that coreboot is not a BIOS. coreboot does only hardware initialization. After coreboot follows another component which takes over, and can do whatever it wants. This component is called the payload. There are bootloader payloads with drivers for hard drives, CD-ROMs and network cards. The Linux kernel can be used as payload, and a few other operating system kernels as well. There is also a BIOS payload, which is called SeaBIOS. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for more information. Combining coreboot with SeaBIOS gets you an open source version of a legacy BIOS. Combining coreboot with something else gets you a whole new way of booting PCs. Kind regards //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
