Re: [coreboot] SeaBIOS payload without a menu & CN400 Patch

[Harrison, Jon (SELEX GALILEO, UK)]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the info.

Now got a build that will support SeaBIOS or Standalone VGA.

SeaBIOS build modded to autoboot FILO works, with VGA option roms loaded
OK.

Ron,

I saw your ack of the last submitted CN400 patch, but I don't think I've
seen it go in to the upstream.

Can we do this soon, and I'll get the next patch out to add SeaBIOS
support

Thanks
