This is wrong. Neither -c ... nor -f is required if you follow the guide
in the wiki (http://www.coreboot.org/Lenovo_x60x).

I agree with the rest of the mail though. One better has an external
programmer handy when doing this and so using that in the first place
might be a better option.

Those did not work for me, at least with stock BIOS. Agreed though, it
will works if coreboot is installed. On the minor side, the step 2,
i.e. flashing coreboot once it has been flashed to get the last 64k
right, require stock flashrom with no modifications/patches
whatsoever.

Again, I am new to this, playing it by ear, so treat my statements
with a pinch of salt.

(writing it from another happily converted x60s, one T60 to go).

Best regards,
