Peter, I need a versatile BIOS replacement as the customers we will be serving can bring in practically any os, image, or possibly even boot system for their research projects.
You'll likely need SeaBIOS anyway then. Most OSes will make BIOS calls during their startup. So, if SeaBIOS loads gPXE and gPXE loads an OS, the OS can still make calls to SeaBIOS. However, if gPXE is loaded directly, there wont be a BIOS for the OS to call.
