[coreboot] Is flashrom worth a try for malfunctioning MS6178 ver 1.1 (this message replaces "new to coreboot")

[Philip Aston]

Following "new to coreboot", briefly, coreboot.rom compiled OK but uniflash
filed to load it; however it was able to reload my original saved image.

Leaving uniflash for now, I can get an OS running here, enough to load
flashrom from "utilities" in the download- but I note from
http://www.coreboot.org/MSI_MS-6178_Build_Tutorial that flashrom is a "no".
Does that mean that the coreboot.rom was written to the chip away from the
MS6178 board & that flashrom cannot flash the chip from the board itself?
Thanks-Philip
