Is the following your board? http://www.ibase.com.tw/MB899_500.jpg If so, the bios chip might be the SST thing near the white connector in the bottom left quadrant of the board. I think it's an LPC style chip. Having another chip to flash instead of that one would mean that you could keep your oringinal untouched. I think that usually those types of chips just pull right out. Also, having an external flasher would be really useful in case you flash a bad image onto your chip and need to fix it. wt -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
