Starting grub2 as a payload might or might not work, can you
troubleshoot your machine (= look at coreboot/the payload's console

You certainly want to save the original rom content, maybe store it on
another machine, or get a spare chip to program coreboot.rom to.
If you prefer to use an external programmer for SPI chips I can

soic8 clips, if the flash is soldered to the board,
