configure and build FILO (filo.elf will include the kernel image?)
Not needed. Filo doesn't have SATA drivers. That's why you need a kernel in
the ROM.
You will have to configure the shell and the boot scripts in
buildrom/buildrom-devel/skeleton/
They select the defaults, mount the drives, etc.
SATA devices should be in legacy mode and filo should be able to load your kernel. The only challenge is getting the drive numbering lined up. in buildrom do a make filo-config. You also need a grub like menu.lst on the drive.
use buildrom to create the actual ROM image file (superset of filo.elf?)
Use buildrom, but the file only will have coreboot and the kernel with a
minimal shell
Use buildrom. If the platform isn't in the makeconfig, it is easy to add.
