Coreboot overwrites seabios .config at build time

[HighlyCaffeinated]

If any options are changed in Seabios - either via direct editing of the .config file or by 'make menuconfig' in the build/seabios directory, those changes are overwritten by coreboot during before it begins the seabios build. How can this behavior be stopped such that seabios configuration is possible?

Thanks,
Todd

By not using the integrated seabios payload option, but the generic
"ELF" option, using a separate seabios tree.
