As a software engineer I never thought much about the BIOS that come installed on my Sun W110z/2100z workstation 8 years ago. No BIOS upgrade, no change in configuration since I purchased this box new (without support) in 2004.
However, what used to be a free ROM image from Sun now requires an Oracle support license costing about 4 times the current value of this hardware. (Might as well just buy a new Chromebox.) The BIOS upgrade is needed to support a main memory expansion (to 8GB), which I have decided is a good idea for streaming video as used SDRAM is cheap enough these days. But not a good idea to pay the asking price for Oracle support, or to pay for BIOS features I never use.
Project is not urgent on my priority list, but I have decided to put coreboot and linux loader into the existing ROM (with reasonable effort). Or, perhaps onto a spare chip for the ROM socket.
The motherboard for the Sun W1100x/2100z is not currently supported by the v4 coreboot I downloaded. Following the FAQ, I am posting the vital info for this system.
Step 1:
* My specific system is actually the Sun W1100z, the single processor version of this machine. * Board vendor is listed as Sun Microsystems, Inc., but might be OEMed from Tyan(???). * Board name is K85AE (Sun Microsystems). * CPU: Single AMD Opteron 150. (Optional second Opteron is not installed, but I might want to try it someday.) * North/South: AMD-8111 Hypertransport Hub. AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge, AMD-8151 AGP Bridge * Display adapter: G98 (GeForce 8400 GS) PCI-X (AGP adapter removed to ensure stability) * IDE: AMD-8111 * SCSI: PIONEER DVR-113NP, AIC-7902B (unused) * Firewire; USB; USB2 * OS: OpenSuse 11.4 (Linux Sun 2.6.37.6-0.20-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-12-19 23:39:38 +0100 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux) 32-bit

Step 5: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19127-01/w1100z.ws/
Step 6: Setup tells me BIOS is from Phoenix.
Since its all AMD and Linux, my guess is that a coreboot configuration should be fairly straight-forward (I for a coreboot insider).
Thanks for any help,

I have decided to put coreboot and linux loader into the existing ROM (with reasonable effort). Or, perhaps onto a spare chip for the ROM socket.
Yes, using spare chip is the good way.
Depending on your definition of reasonable the project can succeed.
If you have zero experience with PC firmware you have a lot of reading to do.
You have three mainboards to look at which are all for k8 with 8151.
$ grep 8151 src/mainboard/*/*/Kconfig src/mainboard/amd/serengeti_cheetah/Kconfig: select SOUTHBRIDGE_AMD_AMD8151 src/mainboard/tyan/s2875/Kconfig: select SOUTHBRIDGE_AMD_AMD8151 src/mainboard/tyan/s2885/Kconfig: select SOUTHBRIDGE_AMD_AMD8151 $
my guess is that a coreboot configuration should be fairly straight-forward (I for a coreboot insider).
Basicaly noone but yourself has an interest in this system, so you are on your own for doing the work. But when you ask questions along the way you can get some very good answers from the mailing list.
