no, what i want to tell you is that seabios may support DOS/Xp, but others not. be mention that there is always risk to flash the bios.

if you want to try xp/DOS, Seabios would be the only choice. and it is unnecessary to use kernel as payload(as a matter of fact, i doubt if it can be taken as payload). i think filo will be the easiest payload as the same.

Hi All
Intel® 845G chipset Southbridge 82801 P4 2.4GHz
From Compaq Evo D310 DT (Custom Mobo, P4B266-VMX)
Any recomemendations?
Which payload to choose? I want to start with a basic one, will be using Linux mostly, but I do want to try XP and DOS perhaps. SeaBios seems good, but on the Wiki, it only mentions coreboot v3, and not 4! I hope it's a typo. I don't think I can use a Linux kernel as a payload, as the chip only has 512KB.
How risky is it to render the PC useless? Note that the BIOS chip is soldered into the Mobo :\ and I doubt I'd be bothered to buy a new one and solder it.
Time to complete the whole thing? If too long, I'll do it on the weekend.
Thanks.
