To improve the support a bit navigate to coreboot/util/getpir/ and run make, then run ./getpir (on the GX1), this will generate a irq_tables.c file. Copy it to your folder, and add the following to the first section of your Kconfig.
select HAVE_PIRQ_TABLE
Once you have done this you should be ready to compile CoreBoot and flash it on to your board. If the flashing fails or the compiled ROM doesn't work for your board could be unable to boot, so it is strongly recommended that you find or buy a similar ROM chip so that you have a working backup in case something goes wrong.

the bios chip is built into the board, but would the bios bootblock not work? is there any way to check for a bootblock? this is a good computer and I do not want to kill it.

Soldered on? Does flashrom find the flash chip?

No. You will replace the complete factory BIOS if you try coreboot.

Which is why you need a way to recover from when the first version of coreboot that you try does not work. It most likely will not work without tuning, so please prepare for this.
