It's there for Qemu.

Yes.  Make sure to set 
#define CONFIG_COREBOOT 1 
and 
#define CONFIG_OPTION_ROMS_DEPLOYED 0
For your first test you could do DEPLOYED 1 since you are copying the VGA
BIOS to 0xc0000 in coreboot.  For the long term, though, it would be better
to let SeaBIOS handle it all.

I also set
#define CONFIG_DEBUG_SERIAL 1
and change the debug level.

Thanks,

Converting epia-n build to SeaBIOS

[Harrison, Jon (SELEX GALILEO, UK)]

OK. So I seem to have got my build deploying seaBIOS (0.4.1) , but
appear to have hit a major obstacle.

No USB Keyboard Support!? This is a complete show stopper for me.

I've seen a thread from last summer talking about adding USB Kbd
support::
http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2008-December/043714.html

Has anything happened anywhere on this ??

I'm now trying to decide whether I fancy my chances of adding CBFS
support to FILO or USB keyboard to SeaBIOS more !!!
