We've been kind of holding off on this, but, fact is, coreboot has followed
the well trod path of firmware everywhere and become a small kernel. It
started as little more than memcpy with a frisson of I2C packet IO thown
in, but thanks to the generous ideas of hardware designers everywhere, with

Which could just as well be UEFI.

Hi All,
Sorry if I am a bit OT to this thread, due to my limited knowledge about
coreboot CBFS at this stage, but I would like add few points.
Firstly, as Alex mentioned
If, on the other hand, you have a well designed, unified block dev API, you
can select your block device based on some some heur
