Hello David, Martin, Peter,

I would like to ask few quick questions about payload called OpenBIOS. Since I know something about SeaBIOS, but nothing about OpenBIOS.

Quick questions:
[1] What is OpenBIOS? Something similar as SeaBIOS?
[2] If [1] is YES, what are differences, and when to use SeaBIOS, when OpenBIOS payloads?
[3] Does OpenBIOS simulates CSM ON only (I expect yes, butt not CSM OFF)?
[4] Any net pointer/web pages I can read more on OpenBIOS?

Thank you,
Zoran

I agree that downloading at build time shouldn't be a requirement, and
that there should be the ability for building on a machine that isn't
connected to the internet.  So I'd say that it's important for the
number of *REQUIRED* downloads at build time to be zero.

Adding another payload option that downloads at build time isn't an
issue though - for people who don't want to use it, they can select
'no payload' or 'elf payload'.
