[SeaBIOS] seabios issue

[Roger Lawhorn]

nevermind.
i had to use nomodeset on boot.
i have nvidia optimus.
not only does the nvidia and nouveau drivers grab and hold my video 
chips, but now i915 does also.
i915 driver was the issue.
with nomodeset i am running fbdev and nothing else.
it all works now.
