[LinuxBIOS] LinuxBIOS support for Kontron ETX board

[Gernot Butschek]

Hi everybody,

I'm working on an embedded project and am using a Kontron embedded board 
(see details below).
I'm wondering if LinuxBIOS supports this board in order to get rid of the 
last piece of proprietary software.

Thanks for your help.
