Hello Zvika,
How can it find [VBIOS] in the vendor's bin file ?
It really depends on the type of vendor's BIOS because they could be packed differently. For example, if your vendor's BIOS is Inside then you can use Inside H2OEZE utility (sadly its' Windows-only and not available officially, but you could find it if really want). But please keep in mind that your vendor's BIOS might be patching that VBIOS during booting, if that is indeed so - then a "clean" unpatched VBIOS extracted with this method, either will not work at all or work with errors. So it is always recommended to extract VBIOS from a running system, just in case. Usually these instructions are working - https://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support#How_to_retrieve_a_good_video_bios , see "Retrieval via Linux kernel" part. But if that's not working at your system and you've tried everything else, here is a great alternative method - https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2017-July/084660.html

Hello,
Currently I'm replacing the BIOS in the vendor's bin file with coreboot.bin Can coreboot use Vendor's VBIOS instead of the serial console ? How can it find it in the vendor's bin file ?
