According to Ron the 440LX datasheets were quite good. See http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/290564.htm
(RAM init starts on page 84 or so)
Of course this is chipset-specific to some extent, but it should give you a generel idea about the process.
This kind of knowledge is important for a newbie to understand LinuxBIOS, but takes a long time to find. Would it be a good idea to collect these beginning informations and make a reading list or an FAQ ?
