So this is likely a dumb question. But what is the difference between LinuxBIOS and OpenBIOS?
As far as my very limited knowledge goes, LinuxBIOS isn't a BIOS persay. It will initialize your hardware to a state that it can load a bootloader of sometype (or even just a program like memtest). When you are creating a linuxbios for a board/system. You will determine what payload(s) you want it to have. These payloads can be filo, etherboot a linux kernel, or ALDO or OpenBIOS.
OpenBIOS as far as I understand, is attempting to create a BIOS replica/replacement, and as such could be a payload to LinuxBIOS.
You might also want to check out the new site http://wiki.linuxbios.org/ which will probably have more definitive answers to your question.
