What would be the selling point to the laptop maker of using LinuxBIOS?
Why would they want LinuxBIOS rather than buying (and modifying) a solution from a commercial BIOS company and their CPU/chipset(s) suppliers?
If you can answer this question in a way that would convince an MBA you might be able to persuade a maker to do this. If you can't give an argument that saves the company money I doubt you will get any traction.
As regards the "let's get it on cheaper motherboards" I agree entirely.

Stories about LinuxBIOS frying laptops are the worst we can get now, but if we are successful enough in the traditional PC market, maybe one laptop vendor will get interested, too. And with support from a manufacturer, porting is a lot easier.
