I am a newbie in coreboot.
so am I.
I want to know if coreboot v2 support Atom N450 @ 1.67GHz + ICH8M embedded board.
I do not think so. But please take a look at [1] on what information to provide.
Both the N450 (Atom with integrated Northbridge, and intel graphics on one die, a.k.a. "uncore", a.k.a. Pineview, a.k.a. Pinetrail) and the ICH8m southbridge are unsupported.
However that's also one of the Platforms I dream to port coreboot to, but I didn't start a line of code in coreboot yet. But I wrote a small tool that allows you to dump the GbE BLOB and BIOS from your flash contents, that are not organized as a normal BIOS but in descriptor mode. This is (at least) related to ICH8 and ICH9, and when your board runs GbE, not only Fast ethernet, this is a good indicator your SPI flash's contents are in descriptor mode. Also with coreboot you'll need the GbE BLOB to have GbE operational. For porting and reversing you'll likely also need the BIOS itself.
Sounds like you have one of the CES2010 new netbooks? which one?
try running flasrom on it, then "descriptormode" the tool I wrote: http://github.com/mazzoo/descriptormode
