But if you do it, of course, you want to always be sure the 'fallback image' is a good one :-)
In the case of SeaBIOS as a fallback payload, there is one more thing to take care of: The user must take care of making sure that what the fallback SeaBIOS loads automatically doesn't prevent it to boot: For instance if the user add some option rom in cbfs intended for the normal SeaBIOS and that it also prevent the fallback SeaBIOS from booting it would be a big problem... The workarround for that case is to configure (make menuconfig) the fallback SeaBIOS not to load option rom for instance. Of course that would need to be tested first...For instance by making the current payload load the modified SeaBIOS...
