Hello, I want to propose a "coreboot challenge" to first port coreboot to the i840 chpset, second port coreboot to support a very rare i840 dual cpu board, third instead of RAMBUS (which i840 is designed for) this board uses SDRAM. I think this would be a very interesting port for coreboot.
The board is a AMI Megatrends MegaDual. The user manual can be found here: http://www.ami.com/support/doc/MegaDual_mb_man.PDF
I have four of these rare boards and am willing to donate three of them (one person each, less shipping costs of course) to anyone who is willing to take on this challenge. Let me know if your interested.
P.S.: the first person to boot to a Linux command line gets the grand prize, a big fat cookie :-)
Attached is a pic of the board, in case your curious.
