Re: [SeaBIOS] Open Firmware path on boot selection screen.

2013-08-01 Thread Weinz Christian
Latest seabios (aka git master, 1.7.3 isn't new enough) can append 
the

seabios log to the coreboot logbuffer.  So you can use "cbmem -c" to
read the logs once the system is up'n'running and find the strings 
there.


Then I suggest adding that information to the wiki:
http://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS#Configuring_boot_order
when that feature is in the stable release.

Thank you.

seabios log to the coreboot logbuffer.  So you can use "cbmem -c" to

[SeaBIOS] Open Firmware path on boot selection screen.

2013-08-01 Thread Weinz Christian

Hello,

I suggest adding the Open Firmware paths for devices SeaBIOS can boot 
from
(example: /pci@i0cf8/usb@12,2/usb-*@4) to the boot selection screen. I 
needed
to buy a serial adapter and a null modem just to get that string. That 
string
is important since you cannot modify the default boot sequence without 
it.


Best Regards,
Christian Weinz
