Ron,
So far this is what I have been able to get working.
1) I can compile coreboot with FILO and it boots to a filo prompt. Tried to get it to boot from a CD but no luck. 2) I can compile LAB and the kernel boots, there is a exception tap when it goes to run linuxrc. This seems to be tied up with using uClibc. 3) I have not tried any of the other payloads yet.

what can I do to help? I need this anyway so I can boot Plan 9 quickly in simnow -- the only easy way to do it is to use coreboot and simnow -- it avoids the headaches with simulating disks.
do we have a simnow page yet at wiki?
tell me what you need as I am working on simnow today and maybe the next week.
are you really doing cross builds in 64 bit? I need to know the fastest way to do that. does buildrom do the Right Thing?
