[coreboot] brick avoidance

[Joe Korty]

Hi and good morning,
I am new to this coreboot thing.  I would like to know
what techniques people are using to avoid bricking their
motherboard the first time they use coreboot (ie, at the
point when a person is completely ignorant about what they
are doing).

I've looked into the IOSS RD1-LPC8 Bios Savior but haven't
been able to get a response from the company.  I suspect
that the product is no longer available.  Too bad, that
looked like it was exactly what I needed.

My motherboard is the H8DME-2 with an 8 MB LPC flash.

Regards,
Joe
