Yes, we'll add that.
If I understand correctly, LinuxBIOS "just" initializes the mainboard and boots a payload, there is nothing like what people would usually call "BIOS Setup", right?
Not yet, no. It might happen as part of Google Summer of Code, see http://linuxbios.org/GSoC (no promises yet, though).
There's a small Linux tool called lxbios which allows you to change some LinuxBIOS settings from a running Linux system, but nothing which you can use _before_ actually booting a system (yet).
http://lxbios.sourceforge.net/
Then, how can one configure the mainboard, for disabling the integrated serial uart or the PCI IRQs for instances? By setting parameters before building a ROM image?
Basically, yes. Or (for some settings) lxbios.
