Problem is my pomona is not establishing reliable connections, unless I use a lot of duct tape. I'd be interested in using the ISP header if possible.
My pomona clip had issues with its contact pins(the ones in contact with the flash chip) over time, so I unmounted it and repaired it.
Also, is it possible to indicate a normal boot from grub with cmostest / cmosclear / cmosset / cmosdump functions?
The cmos layout is in src/mainboard/lenovo/x60/cmos.layout
Example in grub.cfg: menuentry 'Normal' { cmosclean 0x30:0 cmosclean 0x30:1 cmosclean 0x30:2 cmosclean 0x30:3 cmosclean 0x30:4 cmosclean 0x30:5
halt }
Vladimir Serbinenko said me that it was a bad idea to do this and that he would instead work on something better that would understand the coreboot cmos layout. I've not checked if there is now something for it in grub.

I tried pushing the pins down - it looks better but it didn't help. Mine only work with a lot of duct tape to keep it firmly pressed to the motherboard. Otherwise, it slides up just a bit, enough to avoid making contact. It seems more like a problem with the plastic
Example in grub.cfg: menuentry 'Normal' { cmosclean 0x30:0 cmosclean 0x30:1 cmosclean 0x30:2 cmosclean 0x30:3 cmosclean 0x30:4 cmosclean 0x30:5
halt}
Interesting. Is there a reason why different values are used on gluglug halt? cf http://samnoble.org/thinkpad/grub/gluglug.grub.custom.cfg:
# reset to normal
cmosclean 48:0
cmosclean 48:1
# reset boot count
cmosclean 48:4
cmosclean 48:5
cmosclean 48:6
cmosclean 48:7

I only want to use that for my tests (grub, seabios etc) so that I remain in normal, because I can't update the normal boot status then.

There is only cbmemc, cbls and cbtime. They could be good menu options but the output is displayed without a pager (so you can't see them as it goes back to the menu - you have to enter a command line)
Of all of these, cbtime would be especially interesting to add a title to grub menu, to show if the boot was in normal or fallback and how long it took.
I'll see if it's possible to add the result of a command to grub menu
