The release readme says to read http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO,
which says to use the latest git sources. The mainpage of the wiki is a
bit ambiguous, but also leads to that same link under getting
started. So, you've given the impression that the latest git sources are
what's recommended to users.

I updated the wiki to suggest that the user might wish to check the supported motherboards page (https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards) to see if their mainboard is known to work with a particular git hash.

If not, then the latest sources probably are the best bet (though obviously not guaranteed).



It seems a bit odd to recommend users to use latest git sources on
something that can easily cause their system to not boot.
