Hi cb-community,
as everyone who owns a computer can subscribe to the list and there is no coreboot-forum, I presume that I'm allowed to ask a few primitive questions about the topic :)
1. Coreboot+Payload are only used to initialize the hardware and then give the complete control over the system to the OS, right? So once the OS booted no Coreboot or Payload-code is executed anymore? 2. Bios calls were used decades ago (so the OS hadn't to bring all the drivers) but aren't used by modern OS anymore, right? So why does Windows need seaBIOS to work? 3. If [1] is true, does that mean it's not important (for the user) if coreboot supports 100% of the boards hardware? Example: If I install coreboot on a machine and the wiki says "VGA not supported" this means that the monitor won't show anything - until the OS boots which uses it's own driver to address the monitor. Right? To be sure: As long as the OS boots successfully I don't really have to care if all system components work during the boot process? 4. In the traditional BIOS I can adjust lots of settings - overclock my CPU for example or enable Virtualization for KVM. How do I do this in coreboot?
Beside of that: Great work guys, take care.
Greetings
Philipp
