Linbios Vs. open firmware

[kiran]

Ok I know that intel type boards have a different bios structure, but
what do you think about open firmware and is there room for improvement.
Would linux bios have a place inplace of open firmware.
I only ask this because I'm interested in Linbios, but am a long time
mac user (and an intel/ppc linux user). I know that open firmware is not
just relegated to mac systems, but used on other system as well.
