Payload is file that holds, for instance, LAN ROM, i.e. software responsible for remoting loading from server. It's just an example. There are FAQs (try to google) which explain much of your questions.
LinuxBIOS (initialises hardware) -> payload (etherboot,OpenBIOS, FILO etc.) (-> operating system)?
Ok, but that was just an example. Technical jargon explanation is still needed to get into linuxbios. For instance: http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2003-March/002240.html
This mail mentions SPD,VID,DID,I2C etc. Does everybody know what these mean? To get more people interested in linuxbios one has to lower the bars, and technical jargon is a major blocker (at least for me). And yes, I do know what i2c is, and I think I know what spd is (ram speed?) but vid & did does not ring a bell. For anyone not knowing what i2c is I'll recommend: http://www.esacademy.com/faq/i2c/index.htm
