 It would be nice if we could test coreboot images in VirtualBox, see
 http://virtualbox.org/.

VirtualBox does not (yet) provide a simple mechanism to use a different
 BIOS in their emulated machines (something like "-L" in qemu). Instead the
 BIOS image (a custom bochs BIOS + LGPL'g VGABIOS) is converted to C code
 (an array of bytes, or the like) and merged into the VirtualBox
 executable.

The relevant files are
 {{{
  src/VBox/Devices/PC/DevPcBios.cpp
  bldprogs/bin2c.c
 }}}
 if someone want to hack VirtualBox to easily support using coreboot images
 instead of their usual BIOS.
