I've just received the motherboard and it has a SPI BIOS with no header whatsoever. So, sadly, no coreboot on this one.
Look for the flash chip(s). Probably near the ATX power connector, 8-pin chips, usually with a small colored dot and/or a sticker on top of them. If you peel off the sticker (if any), you should see the manufacturer and model number (probably 25...). Maybe you can find someone to solder a socket in place.
Hehe, I like that, but that is a bit too much for me I'm affraid ;-)
Thanks for the tip though.
