The bios on the board is a PMC 49FL004t-33jce. Found a data sheet for that, and it does use the LPC. I'm looking at the SST parts right now. Googling for PRI_BOOT_LOC brings me right back to the list. :) Looks like this is shown with flash rom? Guess it's time to fire up svn and grab some code. This stuff has come a long way since the 27cxxx chips. :)
