I've been looking at
the tutorial, and I'm a bit confused. It's probably just my ignorance of
how coreboot works, etc.
As I understand it,
I should be able to replace the legacy bios on my S2892-based system with a
coreboot-generated
ROM image. I
want to be able to boot from a SATA hard drive with an existing Linux
install.
So far, I've taken
the latest SVN snapshots of coreboot-v2, filo, and buildrom.
Hardware-wise, I have a contraption that
lets me hot swap the
bios chip, and a couple of spare chips. I've already successfully read an
image file from the legacy
BIOS and written it
back and verified it a few times.
I'm pretty familiar
with the Linux boot process, on top of a legacy BIOS anyway. I created an
isolinux-based system
that just worked out
of the ramdisk and never mounted a hard disk.
I believe the
steps I want to follow are roughly the following:
* build a very
minimal kernel that will end up in the ROM image
