Intel Socket 370 Pentium III Celeron i810
i810 might still work. Here's a photo of the board, with a close-up of the flash chip: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxNjAw/z/htIAAOSw7NNUJcHW/$_57.JPG
You still need spare flash chips and a way to program them. See http://www.coreboot.org/FAQ#How_do_I_.28re-.29flash_the_BIOS.3F
When you can program the chip you'll want to see console output, either over the serial or EHCI debug port.
DMI string baseboard-manufacturer: "Trigem Computer, Inc." DMI string baseboard-product-name: "Cognac" DMI string baseboard-version: "None" DMI string chassis-type: "Other" DMI chassis-type is not specific enough.
It actually is a desktop: blame the vendor or ODM for being lazy/lax and not filling that in.
Found ITE Super I/O, ID 0x8702 on port 0x2e
Unsupported as-is, but generic enough to configure it to send serial output.
======================================================================== WARNING! You may be running flashrom on an unsupported laptop. We could not detect this for sure because your vendor has not setup the SMBIOS tables correctly. You can enforce execution by adding '-p internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop' to the command line, but please read the following warning if you are not sure.
This one is easy to handle by yourself :)
