I would assume that some sort of openbios "machine code" needs to be installed to the boot sector of the x86 machine in order for it to work. Is this correct, or am I missing something.
Well OpenBIOS is obviously some sort of ... BIOS. Ideally, you put it into a flash ROM, or into a ROM image file for the emulator in your case. OpenBIOS basically does not do any platform initialisation (yet), thus it's a good companion for LinuxBIOS. You build LinuxBIOS for your (virtual) hardware and specify OpenBIOS as payload. For testing and development, you can build an ELF binary to be loaded directly by e.g. grub.
