FYI,
I successfully built a coreboot-v2 image with both SeaBIOS and gpxe. I concatenated the coreboot image, the video bios, and gpxe rom into one big image and wrote it to flash. I also told SeaBIOS how to deploy the roms:
#define OPTIONROM_BDF_1 0x0100 #define OPTIONROM_MEM_1 0xfffc0000 #define OPTIONROM_BDF_2 0x0048 #define OPTIONROM_MEM_2 0xfffcf800
It works!
SeaBIOS support for option roms is pretty good, so this isn't very surprising. However, it is worth pointing out, because it shows that an open source bios can match the functionality of a typical COTS bios.

Sweet :-) Are we going to get a good indepth HOWTO on the coreboot Wiki?

Yes thats very good news! I will try to look into SATA issue if time permits.
