Hi Patrick,
Welcome to coreboot and I hope you have a lot of fun with it!

But now, I want to go deeper again, and install it on a real machine. The computer I selected is an old laptop from 2005
This isn't a great way to start - I'd suggest to select a computer known to work with coreboot rather than whatever happens to be available, and especially not to select a laptop.
Making coreboot reliably work correctly on a previously unsupported laptop requires significant effort and can take between days and years (no joke) depending on a large number of factors, some of which are out of (y)our control.
If you do want to go ahead with that hardware then please start by constructing a workable development environment, because as you anticipate the first attempt is not likely to be successful.
At a bare minimum you need a way to recover from a non-booting system, ie. an external flash programmer.
P.-S.: this address is my "professional" address; my personal address patc@galaxyhit.com often goes to spam. But if you answer, please use this personal address!
List etiquette differs from list to list, on the coreboot list the rule is to be subscribed with the address you want to use and to not Cc: all thread participants in replies, I've done so anyway because of your request but please arrange for your desired address to be subscribed. Remember that your outbound messages are resent by the mailing list which should mitigate any bad reputation your mailhost might have.
Kind regards
