none at all, to start. Did you actually get linuxbios to work on this?

strange, being guided by the Sis630 steps (step 2), the
doc mentions that one should patch the kernel tree (??).

I haven't gotten anything working yet. I'm just refering
to the steps mentioned in Sis630 online doc. I'm also
integrating portions of info I get from "configmanual.ps"
To my understanding, I should patch the standard Kernel 
source tree first before I get to configure/build stuff 
mentioned on configmanual.ps file. Please point me to 
some other reference if I'm doing/understanding this
entirely wrong.

I need to mark those files OBSOLETE

you're fine. Our docs really suck. I'm sorry.

Ok Ron, it's nice to know that I can still read :o). 
However, this doesn't answer as to where do I really 
go/start in using/implementing LinuxBIOS. I'm still trying
to read between the lines of whatever doc is available.
To everybody, please don't hesitate to e-mail n00bys like 
me for genric steps that I should follow in order to try out
this project.

Best regards,

Vic

The pcchips 787cl+ is a sis630 mainboard, if that helps.  The config is 
at util/config/pcchips787.config.  This is all v1.  It does not use DOC mem.

So, if you want to write an update howto ;-)

let's start over. what's the motherboard and motherboard chipset.

Sorry, this project is changing so fast it's hard to keep the docs up to 
date.
