I think the patch is in this link. http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2008-September/038551.html Is this one, Myles?
That looks more complex than what I was thinking of. I'm attaching a patch that returns after copying the ROM to RAM, but before executing it. It should work as long as the board you're using uses the generic pci ROM code.
I am also now trying to boot XP with SeaBios as payload on VIA's board.
Great. Let us know how it goes.
This worked for Peter and me this week.
We retried with an ACPI install of XP and it hangs at Mup.sys. I think we need some fixes for ACPI.
jason, which board are you using, I should try to get one.
But seabios works wonderfully well, I am really impressed!
