Thanks Carl-Daniel.

I'm not aware of much overlap.  As I understand it, coreboot mostly
deals with low-level hardware initialization.  The bochs-bios was
designed to be used in an emulator and thus doesn't really bother with
hardware initialization.

Most of what is in the bochs-bios deals with implementing the legacy
bios software interrupts, building of the memory bios tables, and
loading of the OS from floppy/harddrive.

Am I missing something?
