Where could i download a linuxbios.bin file that runs with qemu?  Maybe even
find some documentation on how to compie the linuxbios to run under qemu.
Thanks Again :)

I believe qemu is a 440bx chipset emulation. I doubt you need to program 
memory timings much if at all ... should be pretty straightforward.

Yeah.  Too bad the 440bx maintainer never got the 440bx stuff to work with V2.
What a slacker.

For x86/x86_64 there's a special target. Build LinuxBIOS for the 
emulation/qemu-i386 "mainboard".

On qemu/sparc you should use OpenBIOS instead
